“Investigators charged with negligence (Article 293 of the Criminal Code of Russia. - RT ) to E. Nefedov. In the framework of this criminal case, an investigation is ongoing against other employees of the Chertanovsky bailiff department,” TASS quoted the representative of law enforcement agencies.

Earlier it was reported that the Investigative Committee of Russia began an inquiry into the fact of Sviridov's suicide. The incident occurred on February 12 in the hall of the Chertanovsky court, where the case of extortion was heard.

The lawyer said that in a conversation with the client he did not see in his behavior the prerequisites for committing suicide.
