Already in Moscow, the entire leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was sent to resolve the problem. The head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Moscow Region, Viktor Paukov, was an avid hunter who had enormous connections along this line. And, by the way, I myself found myself in similar stories.
Despite the fact that the report on the incident was requested by the Presidential Administration, according to the source, determining the final fate of Baranov can rest on the shoulders of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Kolokoltsev. He, of course, is completely on the side of his longtime friend Baranov. According to the source, two factors can change something. The first is the emergence of a criminal case. But the Investigative Committee is in no hurry to arouse him and has taken a wait-and-see approach. The second factor is the behavior of Baranov himself. He fell into a deep depression, from which he did not recover throughout this week. Haven’t seen him at work yet. If he continues like this, then Kolokoltsev will have no choice but to accept Baranov’s resignation.
