According to Peskov, the Kremlin is guided by official data and the results of inspections of authorized departments in the issue of income and property of the heads of regions.
“Investigation is one thing, but declaration is another.
All heads of regions fill out and submit declarations, which are then checked by the relevant departments.
If necessary, a more thorough check is carried out, "RIA Novosti quotes him.
As the press secretary of the Russian leader noted, the checks of anti-corruption units "are much more reliable than the data indicated in the media."
He also assured that the checks of the declarations submitted by the heads of regions and officials are carried out "in the most thorough way" and on an annual basis.
Earlier, a publication appeared in the media stating the alleged discrepancy between Kadyrov's real income and his official declaration.
