An interesting story happened the other day with attempts by the IC of Russia to take one criminal case for itself. We are talking about an accident with the participation of 18-year-old Valeria Bashkirova, who on July 16, 2021 in Moscow on a car of Mazda 3, hit children, two of whom died in the hospital.

Then, on July 16, the GSU SK in Moscow Initiated Before the prosecutor’s office, the transfer of this criminal case to himself. Typically, the prosecutor’s office transfers such cases simply by clicking the fingers of the Investigative Committee, but something went wrong here: for some reason the supervisory authority did not go towards the UK, and the criminal case did not transfer a criminal case from the investigation.

July 18 at 13.18 GSU SK in Moscow declaredWhat re -posed the prosecutor’s office about the transfer of the case from the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for himself, with the motivation “Taking into account the broad public outcry, taking into account the consequences, and for objective purposes”. In response, the Moscow prosecutor’s office on the same day at 15.59 reportedthat “the legal grounds for changing the proposal of the criminal case and its seizure from the police are currently not available” (although the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not at all the police, but it is not important).

And then the eyelids were raised, and the bets took off almost to heaven: July 18, at 19.17, the chairman of the UK himself instructed Make a petition to the prosecutor’s office on the transfer of this criminal case from the police to the production of the Main Investigation Department of the IC of Russia.

It is terrible to assume what will happen if the supervisory authority will refuse after that, and leaves this business in the Ministry of Internal Affairs: either the UK will come to the prosecutor general with this issue, or begin to compose some additional corpus delicti, such as the negligence of the traffic police who issued a driver’s license the culprit of the accident, or the improper arrangement of traffic lights from the local administration, just to get this matter yourself.

Although it would seem, what is so special about this business? It does not represent any complexity in the investigation; the accused Bashkirova clearly cannot influence the investigation. Why is the IC of Russia so disgraced, again and again, actually patting the prosecutor’s transmission of the case, with a clear absence of legal grounds for this? The answer is probably clear: PR, and nothing more. The accident made a lot of noise, killed social networks, even the prosecutor’s office – and she caught Haip on a change in the preventive measure of the accused from home arrest to detention in the sake of public opinion, and the Investigative Committee is not in business. In general, this situation characterizes the approaches of the leadership of the IC of Russia to organize the activities of its department. And the prosecutor’s office, it seems, slowly began to show teeth, and it is possible that this is only the beginning.
