In early August, the Prosecutor General's Office organized an inspection of the Kresty jail in St. Petersburg due to complaints of torture. The Federal Penitentiary Service told about the “huge violations” in the pre-trial detention center-1, in particular when transferring to the cells those who had not served their sentences before.
Later, three employees of Krestov were fired according to the results of the audit.
