Speaking about the complaint of the lawyer Sergei Badamshin about the investigation, the representative of the Kremlin called to wait for the results of the consideration.
“Let's wait if there is a complaint to the court, the court’s verdict, which qualifies the justification of this complaint or unjustified,” he said.
He also emphasized that "the president receives relevant information."
Thus, Peskov answered the question of how the Kremlin relates to the current situation around the journalist’s business.
“You know that the topic related to drugs repeatedly appears in appeals to the president and in all statistics, and so on. Therefore, naturally, this area, it is constantly in the zone of attention of both the head of state and all relevant departments. This is an extremely important area, ”he added, answering an additional question about Putin’s statement about the need to tighten liability under drug related articles.
Earlier, the lawyer Golunova complained to the court about the investigator of the UK. According to him, the case has ceased to interest the agency since September.
As noted in the Kremlin, Putin ordered the preparation of amendments to tighten liability for drug propaganda on the Internet. The head of state also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to submit proposals on increasing the number of police officers to combat drug trafficking on the Internet.
