A report on the progress of the investigation into unlawful actions against minors in Sochi will be presented to the central office of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.
Information appeared on social media about a woman who was unhappy that children were playing loudly on a playground. She grabbed one of the schoolchildren by the neck, and then, together with her son, tried to take a phone away from a girl.
The investigative bodies of the Russian Investigative Committee for Krasnodar Krai are conducting an investigation into this incident.
The Chairman of the Russian Investigative Committee instructed the Head of the Investigative Directorate for Krasnodar Krai to report on the progress of the procedural investigation and the established circumstances.
Sochi
Sochi is a major resort city on the Black Sea coast in southern Russia, often called the “Summer Capital.” It gained prominence in the Soviet era as a premier health retreat and was later developed extensively for the 2014 Winter Olympics. The city features a mix of beaches, subtropical vegetation, and nearby ski resorts in the Caucasus Mountains.
Krasnodar Krai
Krasnodar Krai is a federal subject and a popular tourist region in southwestern Russia, often referred to as Kuban. Historically, it was a Cossack territory, with the Black Sea Cossacks being settled there by Catherine the Great in the late 18th century to secure the empire’s southern borders. Today, it is known for its agriculture, Black Sea resorts like Sochi, and its unique Cossack culture.
Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation is the primary federal investigative authority in Russia, established in 2011. It was created to separate the investigative functions from the Prosecutor General’s Office, aiming to create an independent body for conducting pre-trial investigations of serious crimes. The committee is responsible for probing major cases, including corruption, terrorism, and offenses by government officials.
