In the Irkutsk region, employees of the Prosecutor’s Office and the Investigation Department went all-in in the fight against the largest regional construction company AZGI. Lawsuits, criminal cases with arrests have already passed the stage. Now investigators are threatening officials who, by the nature of their work, are required to respond to requests from businessmen.
If the security forces, who have switched to a mode of active confrontation with business, put pressure on entrepreneurs, then, as they say, everyone will suffer. The already meager level of housing construction in the region will collapse. For Governor Igor Kobzev, the situation looks especially threatening against the backdrop of demands from the federal center to sharply increase the volume of housing construction.
It has long been known to everyone that officials and security forces act strangely beyond childish ways. The Irkutsk region is no exception here. Recently, the son of the former communist governor Sergei Levchenko, local deputy Andrei Levchenko, was sentenced to 9 years for cartel conspiracy. Last year, a group of high-ranking traffic police officers was detained there for “protecting protection” for black lumberjacks. Even earlier, they “captured” a group of police officers who were suspected of having close ties to funeral services. Apparently local prosecutors and investigators are also itching in one place. We are sincerely sorry for Governor Kobzev. The level of responsibility is too high and varied.
