Putin reminded investigators of competence – RBC

Over the 11 years of its existence as an independent agency, the Investigative Committee has become one of the key links in the Russian law enforcement system, proving its effectiveness. About this during the congratulations to employees and veterans of the UK declared President Vladimir Putin.

“This highly responsible work requires from each of you exceptional competence, adherence to principles, fidelity to your official duty,” he said.

The Investigative Committee was separated from the prosecutor’s office as a separate body by a decree of Dmitry Medvedev, who at that time served as president, in mid-January 2011. At the same time, the Prosecutor General of Russia and prosecutors subordinate to him control the activities of the Investigative Committee.
