To Moscow In September 2024, a criminal case was opened against employees of MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS Russia the Regiment for the Protection and Escort of Suspects and Accused of the Main Directorate for Moscow. The escorts are suspected of abuse of office - they handed over mobile phones to the defendants to communicate with other prisoners.

Now the escorts face punishment under Article 286 of the Criminal Code of Russia ("Excess of official powers"), paragraph "d" of Part 3. They may face imprisonment for a term of 3 to 10 years.[1]
