"We learned from the media about the fact that the criminal proceedings had been instituted against the 'Chechenfilm'. The liquidation of the film studio was completed yet in September 2014," the "Interfax" quoted on July 30 Alvi Karimov, the spokesman for the leader of Chechnya, as reporting.
Alvi Karimov has also noted that Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov did not give his consent to be included in the board of trustees of the state-owned unitary enterprise (SUE) "Film Studio Chechenfilm".
