Two and a half years ago, investigator Tatyana Evgenievna Sidorova, working in the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the
Moscow Region, received instructions from her boss Odintsova to start a custom criminal case 12001460001003790 under articles of the Criminal Code of the
Russian Federation 210 and 159 against municipal employees working in the funeral industry, in the interests of the funeral mafia. Of course, adding Article 210 here was a huge gamble, which the prosecutor’s office doubted, but the money received by Odintsova and Sidorova instilled in them such confidence that they promised that they had a serious invoice that they could not disclose in the interests of the
investigation. Along with instructions and monetary reward, Sidorova also received a promise of promotion to the position of deputy of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Moscow Region.
However, something went wrong: two years later, the prosecutor’s office did not approve the case to be sent to court and returned it for further investigation. This is usually the end of an investigator’s career. But Sidorova did not give up. A week later, without correcting any errors, she returned the case to the familiarization stage, according to Art. 217 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and sent him to court to extend the already exceeded deadlines for detention. As a result, the defendants have remained behind bars for more than two years.
It is important to note that she has already performed this maneuver twice for previous extensions.
