“In July 2019, planned exercises were held in the camp, during which Novgorodtsev found that the placement of children in the tent camp was organized in violation of fire regulations. At the same time, the suspect did not take measures to oblige the leadership of the camp to correct the violations, ”says her statement published on the agency’s website.

It clarifies that all the criminal cases initiated by the state of emergency are combined into one proceeding.

Earlier, the UK has already filed cases under the articles "Causing death through negligence" and "Providing services that do not meet the requirements of safety of life and health of consumers."

The government of the Khabarovsk Territory reported that a towel falling on the heater could be a possible cause of the fire.

A fire in a children's tent camp on the territory of the Holdomi tourist complex occurred on the night of July 23. In total there were 189 children.
