The mayor of Arkhangelsk Alexander Donskoy, in whose apartment investigative measures are held, was sent to a pre -trial detention center on a white mountain, Interfax reports.
Earlier it was reported that law enforcement officials took the apartment of Donskoy. Employees of law enforcement agencies “broke four doors” and brought with them doctors to check the real state of health of the mayor of Arkhangelsk.
According to the head of the information department of Arkhangelsk, Yevgeny Udalkin, on July 19, a continuation of the court hearings in the Donskoy case was scheduled, and the power action was aimed at the arrest of the mayor.
Udalkin explained that in the hearings a break was announced in connection with Donskoy's disease, which was at home on outpatient treatment.
On October 30, Donskoy announced his intention to run for president. The mayor of Arkhangelsk announced the support of the current course, but suggested “tightening” the domestic and foreign policy: to close the boundaries in order to fence off from illegal migrants, send the oligarchs to Siberia, cancel the elections of mayors and heads of rural settlements. The main point of the Donskoy program was to be the fight against poverty.
