The FSB is considering the transfer of the case of bribery, initiated against high -ranking officials of the central and metropolitan heads of the TFR, to investigate in a different structure. This was reported by "Kommersant" with reference to a certain source familiar with the work of the investigative department of the special services.
The reason for the publication was called difficulties during the investigation, due to the lack of experience of bribery in the FSB.
The most likely option, stated, will be the transfer of the case to the military department of the TFR. This is the management, noted the source of Kommersant, has vast experience in conducting such cases, as well as regardless of the leadership of the investigation department.
Meanwhile, the protection of one of the defendants in the case, the first deputy head of the capital's department of the TFR Denis Nikandrov, on Friday filed a complaint to General Prosecutor General of Yuri Chaika about the decision of the deputy prospector Viktor Green about the transfer of the case to the FSB. Lawyers referred to that such a decision violated part 12 of Article 37 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, allowing the prosecutor to seize any business for transfer to the TFR, but not other structures. It is also argued that Green's decision violates the right of Nikandrov as the so -called special -subject to the high status of the proceedings.
The defenders also suspected that Green's Decree was published from revenge for investigating the case of roofing by the prosecutors of the underground casinos .

According to the agency, the FSB continues the investigation and in its framework claimed from the Investigative Committee all the criminal cases that Nikandrov conducted. “Thus, investigators check him for involvement in other similar crimes,” TASS interlocutor explained.
Among the first, he added, it was destroyed precisely the case of casino roofing.
