The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation stopped a criminal case against journalist Ivan Golunov

8
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia has decided to terminate the criminal case against the journalist of Medusa, Ivan Golunov. Officially, the reason for the termination of the criminal case is the unprovenness of his crime.





The termination of the criminal case was announced by the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Vladimir Kolokoltsev himself. The attention of leaders of this rank to the case of Ivan Golunov, who was suspected of possession of drugs, was due solely to public outcry.

Almost immediately after his arrest, the Moscow police mobilized almost the entire Russian press. For example, for the first time in history, RBC, Vedomosti, and Kommersant publications came out with the same editorial - an editorial statement in support of Ivan Golunov.

We must pay tribute to the journalist’s colleagues - they raised such a fuss that not only representatives of law enforcement agencies had to speak out about the case, but also Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko, and even President Vladimir Putin himself.

At the same time, a legitimate question arises - if Golunov’s guilt has not been proven, then who owned the drugs and laboratory that the Interior Ministry officials showed throughout the country? Planted? But then the police themselves should answer under the same article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, by the way, providing for 10 to 20 years in prison. After all, drug trafficking is exactly the same sale as their sale. Minister Kolokoltsev announced the resignation of the heads of the police department, whose employees detained Golunov. But one resignation is not enough!

The case of Ivan Golunov left a very unpleasant imprint. After all, one wonders involuntarily how many ordinary mortals receive “draconian” terms of imprisonment with an equally unproven corpus delicti? There is simply no one to stand up for them because of the lack of strong support from journalists and human rights defenders.

      Great news !!!!! None of the adequate people doubted this. Now the questions: in fact, drugs actually appeared, you can’t do anything about it! Nothing!!! Where did they come from, who worked with them? Further, if this is a toss, then this is definitely an alienation, i.e. sales! If a toss is proven (I have no idea how it could be otherwise, but of course it needs to be proved) - the article rotates 180 degrees against the tossers. Plus, if it's the police, a lot of aggravating circumstances and specific articles, in view of their official position. According to the mind, I think, pulls for 12-15 years. But this of course is up to the court to decide.

      They took the keys to the apartment from the detainee and hosted it for half an hour. During the search, false witnesses were brought. Pictures from the place of the search are all left, that is, having nothing to do with the detainee’s apartment. Stunned.

      It’s interesting who scared the cops so much, because it’s just impossible to throw up drugs in such quantity and there’s no reason, it means drug addicts with a very steep roof drove over them, and even more interesting is why the drug loader from the 5th column, all as if looking slanting and lisping.

      It’s good that DNA expertise has appeared! Otherwise they would have planted. According to the voiced information, we have 40 thousand people. This article is already sitting.

      Muddy situation. What and how is really incomprehensible.
      Now we must expect what will happen to the policemen who worked on this situation. The resonance is big.
      But the situation is such that if one side is right, then the other is not right. And vice versa.

        And what will happen to the policemen ??? Transferred to another position further from Moscow per flight. As always.
        But this is not the main thing, the main thing is that VV himself they began to fear, and this may and will be the beginning of the end.
