Dymovskiy is charged of swindle, no other criminal cases against him
Major Alexei Dymovskiy, former employee of the UVD (Interior Division) of Novorossisk, who became known after his presentation in the Internet, was presented a charge under part 3, Articles 159, of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Swindle accomplished by a person through abuse of his/her service position". This was stated by Vladimir Markin, spokesman of the Russian ICPO (Investigatory Committee at the Prosecutor's Office). According to his story, the preliminary investigation of the case continues.
As reported earlier by the "Caucasian Knot", the Investigatory Department (ID) for the Krasnodar Territory of the ICPO had opened, by the results of pre-inquiry check, a criminal case against Dymovskiy last December. On January 18, Sergey Kucheruk, head of the GUVD (Chief UVD) of the Krasnodar Territory, said that the second criminal case was initiated against Dymovskiy - this time under Article 303 - forgery. He gave no details but promised new criminal cases.
The above ID of the ICPO has published an official statement in its website, emphasizing that Article 303 deals with falsification of proofs, while responsibility for a service forgery accomplished by a militiaman, is covered by another Article - No. 292. Criminal cases under both Articles can be initiated exclusively by ICPO inspectors, while the ID did not open any such cases against Dymovskiy.
Mr Markin announced presentation of the charge to Dymovskiy yesterday, on January 20; however, he refrained, for the time being, from any comments on the grounds of the charge, as the ITAR-TASS reports.
