=Criminal defamation case=

In 2016, a criminal case was initiated against a resident of Magadan, who criticized Governor Pechyony during a public inspection of the quality of houses built. Magadan was accused of slander against Pechyony (Part 2 of Article 128.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). It is noteworthy that the criminal case was initiated not by the body of inquiry, but by the Investigative Committee, and it was submitted for consideration to the department for especially important cases. It is noteworthy that in Russia such cases are referred by law not to the Investigative Committee, but to the bodies of inquiry – local departments of internal affairs.[In Magadan, a criminal case was initiated against a local resident suspected of slandering the governor of the Magadan Oblast]
