Actual owner of Domodedovo airport Dmitry Kamenshchik detained

The First Direction of the Investigative Committee based in the city Moscow during an investigation against former head of the Russian office of Airport Management Company Limited Svetlana Trishina, Managing Director of ZAO Domodedovo Airport Aviation Security Andrei Danilov, Director of the Airport Vyacheskav Nekrasov and other unidentified people, has detained the actual owner of Domodedovo airport Dmitri Lamenshchik. He is charged with a crime under Part 3 of Article 238 of the RF Penal Code (fulfillment of works or rendering services that do not meet safety standards and have entailed death of two or more people be negligence).

According to investigators, Kamenshchimk, Trishina, Nekrasov and Danilov introduced a new examination system at the entrances of the airport, which made the airport more vulnerable and led to provision of unsafe services by the airport. As a result, in January 2011, Magomed Yevloyev freely entered Domodedovo airport with an improvised explosive device hidden under his clothes and set it off.

The investigation is going to request a court to remand Kamenshchik in custody pending trial. The investigation is ongoing.
