“The purge of our own ranks is carried out especially harshly and uncompromisingly, since the authority of the prosecutor’s office is at stake.
Moreover, we carry out this work openly and publicly, realizing that any suppression of internal problems reduces the confidence of citizens in us, "Krasnov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
He noted that any pressure on the operational-search services and investigative bodies in order to "smear" their employee is completely excluded.
"My personal position in identifying the so-called" decided "in the ranks of the prosecutor's office is simple to the limit: it will not seem a little to anyone," the prosecutor general said.
The Prosecutor General's Office of Russia previously reported that in the first half of 2021, 300 officials were fired due to the loss of confidence.
The ministry noted that dismissal in case of loss of confidence is one of the tools to combat corruption in the country.
Among the grounds for the application of appropriate measures, the Prosecutor General's Office named concealment of information about income, expenses, property and property obligations, failure to take measures to resolve conflicts of interest, and entrepreneurial activities in violation of anti-corruption prohibitions.
