Media: the United Investigative Committee will be created in Russia

In Russia, it is supposed to create the United Investigative Committee, Izvestia reports with reference to sources in law enforcement agencies. Vladimir Putin can sign the corresponding decree this fall. A new structure will begin to operate in 2017, and a transition period will be established for 2015-2016.

OSK is supposed to be formed due to the inclusion in the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and FSKN. Meanwhile, the Investigative Department of the FSB will still remain in the structure of the special services. It is reported that the director of the FSB Alexander Bortnikov insists on this.

In addition, an investigation of simple criminal cases will remain under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and FSKN. For this, departments of inquiry will be created in the departments.

The head of the OSK will be the chairman of the TFR Alexander Bastrykin. 25 percent of investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and FSKN will be transferred to the new structure; Others after re -certification will work in the inquiry services of their departments.

It is reported that the head of RosnarkoKontrol Viktor Ivanov said last week that his service was terminating the investigation of cases under Article 210 of the Criminal Code (organization of a criminal community). The FSKN will be directed to the TFR.

For the first time, the then deputy head of the presidential administration Dmitry Kozak expressed the idea of ​​uniting all investigative services in one in 2003. According to a certain AP official, Kozak was going to head the new department. However, his proposal did not find support either in the prosecutor's office or in power structures.

The second time the topic was discussed in 2007, when Putin signed a decree on the formation of the Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor General. However, even then the heads of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs opposed the creation of a single investigative department.

The third time the possibility of creating OSK was spoke in 2013. The Security Council supported the initiative, but suggested delaying its implementation until 2017, citing the absence of the necessary funds in the budget. Then the formation of a new structure was estimated at almost 100 billion rubles.

The press service of the Investigative Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and FSKNs refuse to comment on the creation of OSK, offering to wait for Putin to sign the corresponding decree.
