Employees of the criminal investigation department and departments for the fight against extremism (centers "" E ") gained access to tax secret, according to RBC Daily. Two days ago, the corresponding order of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Vladimir Kolokoltsev entered into force on the changes in the list of officials that have access to it. In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the expansion of the powers of fighters with extremism explain them with a new duty to stop the financing of terrorists.
Human rights activists associated the innovation with the new law on "foreign agents". “All the initiatives of the last half of the year - the laws on slander, GOSTain, foreign agents and this order are interconnected,” said Pavel Chikov, chairman of the agor interregional human rights association.
Extremism wrestlers will receive a new tool for intimidation and pressure on the opposition, the right -handers say. “The main task of such operas is to own information about the activities of activists and at the right time to create problems for them,” Chikov said. Employees of the Centers of E often use immoral methods in their work, ”the emergence of the words of the coordinator of the left front Sergey Udaltsov quotes.“ This is an absolutely excessive measure, the manifestation of police officers, there are enough structures that can control the taxes of citizens. ”
It was the employees of the Smolensk Center "E" who oversaw the case of Taisiya Osipova. Human rights activists believe that the drugs were thrown into her during a search, and it was necessary to put pressure on her husband, a member of the Executive Committee of another Russia, Sergei Fomchenkov.
According to lawyers, investigators need access to tax secrets to find out what information to be requested in banks subsequently. Tax documents contain the numbers of settlement accounts for which it is possible to establish sources of financing of oppositionists. At the same time, experts did not exclude abuse of new powers by police officers, for example, illegal financial intelligence in order to verify the counterparties of business entities.
