The former leader of truck drivers in Ryazan was detained by traffic police before Putin's arrival

The former coordinator of the Association of Russian Carriers in Ryazan, Alexei Borisov, was detained at a distance of a kilometer from the plant site, where Vladimir Putin's helicopter was supposed to land. Half an hour before the arrival of President Borisov, traffic police officers stopped him and asked him to show documents, writes . the 7 × 7 portal

“I admit that I had violations: I did not have an insurance policy with me, I was driving on winter tires. Let me explain how it all started: today the president is coming, so he decided to see how he is protected from people's love. My car is conspicuous, everyone knows that I am engaged in protest activities. I was immediately identified, a “tail” with people in jackets followed me. And now they haven't let me go for an hour. They have already written two protocols, but they can’t issue them in any way. As I understand it, the order was given not to draw up a protocol of detention (there is nothing to detain me for), but at the same time not to let me go, ”Borisov told the publication.

The traffic police officers were interested in what he was going to do after he was released. When asked by Borisov whether he would soon be able to go, the driver was told that they could not let him go yet. After Borisov complained on the phone to the duty unit about illegal detention, someone called the traffic police officers and he was released.
