Employees of the central office of the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) detained Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Sergei Natarov, a source told Lente.ru.
The detention of Natarov is connected with the main cases of his son, ex-adviser to the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Anton Natarov, who is accused of economic crimes. Now the former adviser to the head of the Russian region is at large.
Now investigative actions are being carried out with the deputy chairman, law enforcement officers are going to petition for his arrest. The corresponding statement will go to court today.
According to a source, the ICR believes that Natarov may obstruct the investigation. In this regard, it is highly likely that the deputy chairman of the Legislative Assembly will be sent to a pre-trial detention center.
Earlier in Krasnodar, the FSB detained the 38-year-old deputy director of the department of transport and road facilities of the city administration, suspected of taking a bribe. According to the investigation, the detained official offered a representative of a commercial organization involved in passenger transportation to win the competition to increase the schedule of traffic on a regular route.
