Acting head of Rostov's SIZO-1 Roman Zabolotnev has been fired for negligence, and investigators have opened a criminal case against him under the relevant article, the Shot Telegram channel reported today, citing a source. After the hostage taking in Rostov-on-Don's SIZO-1, Zabolotnev was suspended from work. He filed for sick leave, allegedly because of a broken leg. Zabolotnev returned to work last Friday and was fired the same day, Donnews.ru reported today, citing a source. As of 11:45 Moscow time, there are no comments on the FSIN website or on the website of the FSIN Directorate for the Rostov Region regarding the information about Roman Zabolotnev’s dismissal.

Recall that, according to human rights activists, the incident with the hostage-taking in the Rostov pretrial detention center may be the result of a provocation . The murdered prisoners were handcuffed, and numerous violations had been recorded in the pretrial detention center itself, they told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. |
