“On September 2, the State Fire Supervision sent an appeal to the prosecutor's office with a request to coordinate an inspection visit in relation to the shelter.

The prosecutor's office refused this due to the lack of grounds for him, ”law enforcement officials told TASS.

The fire in a private nursing home occurred on the night of December 24.

The court placed fire inspector Roman Plet, who had previously checked the social shelter, in a pre-trial detention center until February 24.

Prior to this, the court arrested Andrei Smirnov, the organizer of the institution, for two months.
