What a bunch of clowns, huh? They spent three years trying to figure out who owns the country’s largest airport, and still couldn’t do it.
Twenty-two thousand people work with virtually no outside oversight. All the courts fall in line, and the Basmanny District Court (a Moscow court often associated with politically sensitive cases), where the main decisions on Investigative Committee motions are made, is completely in their pocket. Wiretap whoever you want, search whoever you want.
And yet they say they “can’t find” the owner of an airport with annual passenger traffic of 30 million people.
Maybe they should devote to this the resources they pulled away for the shocking crime of stealing a poster from a fence in the city of Vladimir? Wiretaps, searches, monitoring of “other conversations” — they used it all there.
The Investigative Committee clearly ought to rethink its priorities.
P.S. In the meantime, don’t forget to vote.
