The Communist Party of the Russian Federation announced that they will continue to defend the deputy Rashkin, suspected of illegal hunting in illegal hunting in the Saratov region. This is reported by the publication “Podyom” with reference to the head of the party's press service, Alexander Yushchenko.
According to him, this is a political process, which is “colored by the darkness of the forest and all sorts of animal interpretations.” At the same time, Yushchenko noted that from the very beginning the deputy himself wanted to give all the testimony, and his letters to the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Committee remained unanswered.
Currently, the media reported that the State Duma a submission was received to deprive Rashkin of immunity. This is necessary, according to Yushchenko, in order to “give maximum media noise, remove immunity loudly, execute right on the square.”
On the night of October 29, the deputy's car was stopped in the Saratov region by a policeman with an employee of the local hunting committee … They found a dead elk in the trunk. Rashkin himself admitted that he saw the carcass of an animal and wanted to hand it over to law enforcement officers. He also expressed his readiness to cooperate with the investigation.
