Hold the thief - and sign

The investigating authorities will become the executors of the state order to ensure the armed forces by recruits

The Kommersant newspaper announced the instructions lowered into all investigative bodies and bodies of inquiry and regulating issues of conclusion with a case of investigation to the service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Judging by the abundance and accuracy of quotes, the journalists managed to get instructions that were received, as you might guess, to the investigative units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A document with the impossible name - “the procedure for interaction between the command of military units and institutions with investigating authorities and inquiry bodies on suspension and termination of the preliminary investigation in connection with the draft of the suspects and accused of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during the period of mobilization, martial law or wartime” - obliges the investigator or interrogator when initiating the case to inform the accused about his possible "Surgery" in the event of a contract for service in the Armed Forces.

In case of consent (and try to disagree here), the data of the “conscript” are sent to the military registration and enlistment office “at the place of deployment” - that is, the capture. The military registration and enlistment office will check the fitness for the service and, in the event of a positive conclusion, will inform the investigator about this, who will suspend the proceedings.

According to Kommersant, events related to a set of under investigation, representatives of the military registration and enlistment offices are carried out directly in the pre -trial detention center, where they are provided with access.

On the day of release from the pre -trial detention center (or IVS), the military ensures the call of the accused to mobilize, and he is transferred under the supervision of the military registration and enlistment office, and from there is sent to the unit (in fact under the escort of the military).

In addition to detailing the procedure, there is nothing new in this story, although it is interesting at least from the point of view of legislative equipment. “Kommersant” (apparently, believing that its readers themselves were guessed) abstained from the conclusions that should make all of the male citizens of the Russian Federation aged 18 to 65 in the country, and we will still build such a forecast.

The law “On the features of criminal liability of persons brought to participation in a special military operation” No. 270-ФЗ was adopted a year ago, on June 24, 2023, and along it, along with the convicts (who were simultaneously recruited from the colonies through the Wagner PMC), those whose guilt were not proven by the court verdict, but any criminal prosecution was not proved to the zone. suspended.

Suddenly in the Duma they realized that they forgot to supplement the law of June 24, 2023 with the necessary amendments to the Criminal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation - this was done only on March 23, 2024 (Federal Law No. 64). FZ-270 established three grounds for the subsequent termination of the cases suspended by the investigation: receipt of a state reward; wound or disease that eliminates the continuation of service; The completion of a special military operation (unlike already convicted people who were accused in PMCs most often under half-year contracts, contracts within the framework of the FZ-270 are concluded for a period of year to 5 years).

Purely hypothetically 9 months of forgetfulness of lawmakers can be explained by the fact that

There were not so many awarded and wounded with their own, but to terminate the case with the wording “in connection with the death of the accused”, the investigating authorities were not required.

The emergence of a detailed instruction for investigators and interrogators of all departments can also be assessed as an actual indication to activate the work on recruiting “contractors”. In particular, the document obliges the investigative units (we quote by Kommersant) “to ensure the conduct of“ funded production ”on the recruitment of contractors ... Lists should be drawn up for monitoring the mobilization and an employee responsible for this work ... Responsible officers should analyze the state of interaction with the military commissariats and the military commissariats and the persons “Provide” the operational resolution of the problematic issues. ”

It is good to imagine the stick system in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other bodies of inquiry and investigation, it is easy to predict an increase in the number of cases initiated with the sole purpose - to increase the indicators of the recruitment, and then exceed them "in relation to the previous quarter."

As we indicated back in March, when amendments to the Criminal Code were adopted, in the list of articles, upon initiation of cases for which the investigator is obliged to offer the accused an alternative in the form of a military contract, the “popular” Art. 228 of the Criminal Code (storage and acquisition of drugs without a sales purpose).

We are expecting not only an increase in the number of serious crimes that are really committed returning with their own reasons, but also a purely statistical growth of the so -called less serious crimes. The mechanism outlined in the instructions does not exclude re -“mobilization”, and in general, the efforts necessary for recruitment of contractors will tear down investigators from the disclosure of real crimes. It is better to sew their pockets, although this, in which case, will not save from the “call”, regardless of the existence of deferrals and the state of health.
