Saratov’s Volzhsky Police Department opened a second libel case (Article 128.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) at the request of city resident Anton Skorokhodov who had complained about deputy editor-in-chief of the news agency Vzglyad-Info Konstantin Khalin. The case has been opened on the fact of a crime, not against a specific person. «This criminal case will investigate who wrote and distributed materials containing false and defamatory information about the applicant: that the applicant allegedly has debts, that he had a criminal record for arbitrariness, etc. In reality, there is none of this», — reports the media Chetvertaya Vlast.
