A Russian Mafia boss and human rights activist were caught having sex in his jail cell after prison bosses set up secret cameras.

The crime lord and blonde woman were captured in the act as she visited him to check he was being treated well in prison.

Prison bosses set up the video equipment after becoming suspicious when their meetings began taking longer than necessary.

It is reported she had been a regular visitor to the jail until this video emerged.

People complained the mobster, who was convicted for his connections to organised crime, is living in comfort with a wooden bed, rather than the standard prison issue, as well as chairs, a coffee table and paintings on the wall.

A prison official, said: 'It was noted that their counselling sessions seemed to take rather longer than usual.'
