About it in interview to the edition “the Facts,” said the head of the Specialized anti-corruption prosecutors Nazar Golodnitsky.
“The Prosecutor, when he announced a petition to the court, showed these documents. Not scanned copies, which can be photoshop, not photocopies. This is a weighty argument in favor of why we insist on such measure, as arrest, and not on another. We must realize that if a person has a passport of another country, he just gets away with it, if you do not take him into custody. Then we won’t get it back, because not many countries give to their citizens,” he said.
According to him, SAP continues to clarify the presence Nasirov citizenship of any countries. “It is not excluded that can appear and other data. We sent to certain countries requests. Waiting for an answer. Yet received a response from only one country. Thank British colleagues for efficiency,” said Nazar Golodnitsky.
