Khinshtein: the new version of Rashkin appeared after the introduction of the Prosecutor General 
submission to the State Duma of the Prosecutor General's submission to remove immunity from him. Five inconsistencies identified in it were named by the head of the Duma committee on information policy, information technology and communications, Alexander Khinshtein, in his Telegram channel.
Rashkin claimed that he did not know about the absence of a license to shoot moose, but found out this only in the post -factum. However, when going hunting, the deputy had to issue such a license in advance by paying the cost of shooting, Khinshtein said. In addition, having confused an elk with a wild boar, as the communist himself noted, he loaded the butchered carcass into the trunk of a car. This automatically forms the corpus delicti “illegal hunting” (Article 258 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
If Rashkin had not violated anything, he would not have hidden a weapon and a hunting ticket, because this is what professional poachers usually do, Khinshtein added. In addition, the deputy's version does not explain the reasons for his being at the wheel in a state of “excitement” and further refusal of a medical examination.
Rashkin's confessions completely refute his previous explanations, including official information. “This means that he deliberately misled the society and the competent authorities,” concluded Khinshtein.
State Duma deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Valery Rashkin, previously confessed to killing an elk, whose carcass was found by police in his car at the end of October. In a video message, he described the circumstances of the night of October 29.
