Additional information:
A district police officer sent a notice to the administrator of the Aksu.ermak Instagram page Vladimir Kirichenko to report to the police department. The summons to the police is connected with the material previously posted on the page by the journalist of Ratel.kz Olga Voronko, entitled «A hundred residents of Aksu pay alimony to an engine operator Dmitry». The hero of the publication first demanded that the material be removed and then filed a complaint with the police, demanding that the administrator of the Instagram page be held criminally liable for insult. By the time the complaint was filed, the material had already been removed from the website. The district inspector explained that before leaving the complaint without consideration and recommending that the applicant go to court, the investigator should also have spoken to the administrator of the page. Kirichenko failed to appear for questioning as he lives in another city.
