“In the spring, Valery Vladimirovich Kanakin’s contract for the service ended, and it was decided that after the termination of the contract he was retiring,” he told RIA Novosti.
According to him, the reports that the dismissal is connected with the case of the service employees arrested for robbery are “sheer nonsense”.
Filatov believes that the topic of their detention are trying to “lift up according to the general laws of the HYIP.”
In early July, it became known about the arrest of a number of FSB officers, including Alpha units, in a particularly large-scale robbery case.
The Moscow Garrison Military Court sent five of them into custody and two more under house arrest.
