The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not enthusiastic about creating a special forces against police officers

The Russian Investigative Committee will soon appear in the investigation of criminal cases against police officers, said the official representative of the department Vladimir Markin.

The new structure will be specialized in “consideration of complaints about the actions of law enforcement officers and criminal investigation against police officers.”

The press service of the Investigative Committee reported that the special forces are only being created-the subordinates of Alexander Bastrykin have only started to study the order.

The source of the “Independent Gazeta” in the State Duma, close to the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, said that in fact the Ministry of Internal Affairs is far from enthusiastic about creating a special forces: “The police understand that it is more and more complicated than it looks from the outside. Up to 90% of the crimes committed by law enforcement officials are identified by police security units. Or with their participation. And all procedural decisions are made by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. Only on the investigator it depends on whether the case will be initiated. And only on the court it depends on whether the criminal will be punished. Why today no one wonders - who in the same Kazan missed information about abuse in the police past the ears? Bastrykin acted very wisely when he himself punished his employees ... "

Experts evaluate the decision of the SK as the next stage of the struggle for influence with the prosecutor's office.
