Investigative journalist Mikhail Kozachkov reported surveillance. In his Telegram channel, the journalist published photos of two cars with police license plates accompanying the journalist. Regarding the surveillance, Kozachkov appealed to the General Prosector. «A person from the General Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that the information has been received, I will wait for the results. Well, and here are the faces of the two escorts — they reached the place where we had lunch with a friend, went into the building and came out. Apparently, they were interested in who I would be meeting. Well, who will recognise the ’officers, what body are the guys from?», — Kozachkov wrote in Telegram channel, having published the corresponding video.
