There is no "war of compromises" between the Prosecutor General and the Russian Investigative Committee, "if there is any roughness, then they relate to the balance of powers," said the prosecutor general Yuri Chaika on Wednesday, answering questions after a annual report on the Federation Council.
“In fact, the prosecutor’s office gave rise to the Investigative Committee. This is a mother for the Investigative Committee, and we are careful about this,” Interfax quotes him. “It has become fashionable now to water all with mud. It is not only us - both me and Bastrykin (the head of the UK - approx. Ed.). This is today all who are more or less watered with mud. Let it be on the conscience of those who do this,” he said.
Chaika urged to critically relate to various kinds of publications. “I am calm about this. Undoubtedly, I am nervous when they touch the family and so on. This is the very last thing that can be when children are touching and so on,” Chaika said. "My conscience is pure, and Bastrykin is clean, because we are doing a common cause. We are doing the case that the President of the Russian Federation instructed us," the prosecutor general said.
- Chaika wants to deprive investigators of the opportunity to appeal the actions of prosecutors
- Investigative authorities are increasingly investigating corruption, said the Prosecutor General
According to Chaika, back in the 1990s, they tried to blackmail him, "so that I would have fired for discrediting, change the wording of dismissal when I was the first deputy prosecutor general, and returned to work in the prosecutor's office." “They threatened me that they would write these books. I fired for discrediting, for receiving bribes. These people have no place in the prosecutor's office,” he emphasized.
The Prosecutor General accused the legislators themselves of the current departments that were currently around the two departments, who did not indicate the demarcation of authority. “If the balance is not respected, there are some friction. But I will say that friction is still solved in principle, it does not reach something else, because we are doing one common thing,” the seagull said.
He stated that he did not see cardinal obstacles for constructive cooperation of the two departments. “We work normally. I think that we are exchanging information, we regularly communicate on these all issues,” said the Prosecutor General.
The Seagull praised himself for the "unbiased audit" of the prosecutors who roof underground casinos
Speaking in the Council of People's Commissars, Yuri Chaika also spoke about the audit against employees of the Moscow Region prosecutor’s office, who were involved in the gambling scandal . According to him, this check was carried out improperly and without looking back at the honor of the uniform. "As for the protection of the honor of the uniform, this is absolutely excluded. I conducted an official check, did not succumb to pressure," he said.
The seagull recalled that, according to the results of the audit, the prosecutor of the Moscow Region Alexander Mokhov was reduced to the position, and his first deputy Alexander Ignatenko and the head of the department Dmitry Urumov were dismissed. The prosecutors of the two district centers of the Moscow Region - Noginsk and Klin were also fired.
“There is no protection of the uniform. If they are to blame, we must answer. But we should not approach these things,” the Prosecutor General emphasized, noting that he considered it his duty to carefully and uncompromisingly conduct a test. In his opinion, this was done, RIA Novosti reports.
The agency recalls that a criminal case was previously instituted against the Noginsky and Klinsky prosecutors. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation reported at the end of March that they were suspected of receiving a large -scale bribe.
As the official representative of the IC Vladimir Markin, according to the investigation, explained, the suspects systematically received money from Ivan Nazarov , the alleged organizer of the underground casino network, as well as from his possible accomplices.
For such "help" prosecutors allegedly did not prevent them from engaging in their criminal business in the relevant cities. The deputy prosecutor general of the Russian Federation canceled the decisions on initiating cases against them, but the UK did not agree with this decision of the prosecutor's office and promised to appeal it.
According to the FSB, Nazarov had close contacts with the already former deputy prosecutor of the Ignatenko region and other high -ranking security forces. In addition, the UK claims, the group of Nazarov paid for foreign trips to Mokhov and other employees of the regional prosecutor's office and the Central Internal Affairs Directorate. At the same time, the regional supervisory department previously emphasized that Mokhov went abroad at his own expense.
Initially, Nazarov was detained in the case of the illegal gambling business, but the deputy prosecutor of Russia Vladimir Malinovsky canceled the decision on initiating the case. Investigators opened a new criminal case, and Nazarov was detained again . In addition to him, five more people are held in the case, including three police officers. All of them are arrested.
The Prosecutor General’s Office has already announced that the head of the department, Yuri Chaika, supported Malinovsky in his decision to cancel the decision to cancel the initiation of the first criminal case. However, the court of Naro-Fominsk later canceled the decision of Malinovsky.
At the end of March, the media reported that the son of the prosecutor general Yuri Chaika Artem could be involved in a scandalous case. There was even information that they intend to interrogate him as a witness, but in the UK this message was called "error" , but, on the other hand, they did not refute these plans in principle.
The Seagull wants to deprive investigators of the opportunity to appeal the actions of prosecutors
The Seagull on Wednesday advocated the investigators to be deprived of the opportunity to appeal the decision of the prosecutors in court. "I am a categorical opponent of this case. The task of investigators is to investigate criminal cases, and not appeal the actions of the prosecutor," he said.
The function of criminal prosecution on behalf of the state is endowed with an exclusively prosecutor. It is the prosecutor who must manage the investigation of the criminal case, ”the head of the department emphasized.
He noted that "the investigator, appealing the actions of the prosecutor, intervenes in the function of criminal prosecution." According to Chaika, the practice of appealing prosecutorial decisions by investigators exists only in Russia.
The investigating authorities are increasingly investigating corruption, the seagull said
Speaking at the Federation Council, the Prosecutor General stated that the investigating authorities from year to year investigate corruption crimes worse. According to his department, the UK for the year opened 13,581 criminal cases in this area, while the criminal cases were refused 21,409 reports on such crimes.
In total, in 2010 there were 18,097 such cases in the production of investigators, but only 44.3% of them were completed. Among those cases that have already been sent to the court are mostly connected with the giving of a bribe, less and less - with its receipt. There are many things about fraud, less - about abuse of authority, on abuse of authority, appropriation and embezzlement, about official forgery.
The number of accused in court sent to court amounted to 8,116 people, more than two -thirds of them were officials.
As the seagull noted, the number of investigated bribery cases decreased by 2%, the number of investigated cases of abuse of power decreased by 5.9%. The number of investigated cases of commercial bribery increased slightly.
Last year, it was a little better, according to him, things were the investigation of criminal cases of the corruption orientation of the FSB authorities.
