“Law enforcement agencies are working on this event (Golunov’s case. - RT ). Someone is fired, someone is now detained, ”Putin said in an interview with TASS for the“ 20 Questions to Vladimir Putin ”project.
According to him, the investigation should be conducted carefully and without fuss.
“Do you want any confessions to be knocked out or received naturally in the framework of the current law? Probably the second is preferable, ”Putin said.
He emphasized that this takes time.
According to investigators, former policemen Denis Konovalov, Akbar Sergaliev, Roman Feofanov, Maxim Umetbaev and Igor Lyakhovets were members of a criminal group and threw prohibited substances to Golunov. The ex-police themselves do not admit guilt.
Earlier it was reported that the Investigative Committee is asking to transfer under house arrest the former police officer Denis Konovalov, who is accused of falsifying evidence against journalist Ivan Golunov.
Konovalov pleaded guilty and said that the head Igor Lyakhovets gave him the order to plant drugs to the journalist.
Lyakhovets himself said that “moral and psychological pressure” was exerted on him.
