The Public Chamber urged to understand the death of a blockade who got to the police because of a pack of oil

Law enforcement officers must carefully understand the circumstances of the death of an elderly woman in the police department of St. Petersburg, where she was delivered on charges of the theft of butter from the store, said Elena Topolev-Soldunova, a member of the social support commission from the Federal Public Chamber. According to various sources, the blockade of Galimov was suspected of theft of one or three packs of oil.

“I don’t know the details, but in history I need to carefully figure it out and conduct a check why it happened. Another question is whether it is necessary to take the elderly person to the police department for three packs of oils,” RIA Novosti quoted Topolev -Soldunov.

The St. Petersburg edition of the Fontanka , citing the nephew of the deceased Rauza Galimova, reports that the pensioner was sent to the police, finding one unpaid pack of oil among the purchases.

According to a member of the OP, the fact of the theft cannot be left unpunished, but the punishment should be proportional to the crime. “We know cases when people in prison are sitting for the stealing of a bag with potatoes ... Those who called this outfit are first of all a question for them: they saw that this is an elderly person, and even if there is a fact of theft, it may be that this issue could be resolved on the spot, and not to take this grandmother to the police,” added Topoleva -Soldunova.

The blockade of the police, who died in the police, could simply forget to pay for products

The pensioner lived with her nephew, who helped her, and did not need anything, Lifenews reports with reference to the district administration.

“She lived with her nephew, felt cheerful, so they did not score supervision from the state,” a source in the district administration told the television channel. “It is likely that she simply forgot to pay for the purchase, since other products were paid. At such a respectable age, it happens.”

Eyewitnesses of the incident interviewed by the TV channel also said that the blockade was not at all like a thief - she behaved quite calmly and easily agreed to show the contents of the bag.

The administration of the Kronstadt district has already begun an audit on the fact of the death of a pensioner - representatives of law enforcement and social services, as well as a store where an elderly woman was suspected of theft, were called for an operational meeting.

The photojournalist Ilya Varlamov there also tried to clarify at what age of the offender should not be contacted by the police. “A difficult situation, you can give an incorrect signal to employees,” Varlamov believes. “You cannot make an exception to age value.

Sergei Galitsky agreed with the approval of the opponent, but noticed that "in this case it was necessary as an exception" (probably, ignore the fact of an offense). “Then make a list of exceptions for employees (people with disabilities, veterans, children, many children, etc.), otherwise it is not clear,” the journalist concluded.

In the response to another post, Galitsky wrote that the store employees acted according to the instructions. "We have a rule: if someone stole something, we call the police. In the case of a grandmother who survived the blockade, this was not necessary to do this ... What was bad in the site-this, of course, is terrible."

Commented the merchant and the issue related to the selection of employees. “We have 260 thousand people. These are not my children, but the inhabitants that we have brought up with you,” Galitsky said.
