On November 25, the State Duma during a meeting approved the removal of parliamentary immunity from Rashkin in connection with the case of illegal elk hunting.
As the investigation established, on the night of October 28-29 in the Saratov region, Rashkin, armed with a carbine, without a permit for the extraction of hunting resources, "carried out a search, tracking and hunting of an elk."
The prosecutor requested three and a half years of probation for Rashkin in the case of illegal hunting in the Saratov region.
