The media specifies that on Sunday morning the head of the Investigative Committee in civilian clothes and without guards approached the checkpoint leading to the territory of the northern part of the alluvium, but the guards asked him to leave the territory. Then they were presented with an appropriate certificate, to which they replied: “So what?”, The newspaper writes. Later, the head of the department was still able to get into the territory of the alluvium, accompanied by riot police.
