The Omsk Region Office of the Investigative Committee has opened a criminal investigation into a crime under Part 1 of Article 238 of the RF Penal Code (fulfillment of work or provision of services that do not meet safety standards) after a number of regional media published information that a drunk bus driver was removed from the bus meant to transport children to a summer camp.
According to investigators, on 29 May 2016, in the morning, the 41-year-old bus driver was to transport more than 20 children to children’s camp Lesnaya Polyana in Tavricheskoye District, Omsk Region as per a contract concluded by his employer (sole proprietor Sergey Koryuchin). Before having let the children board the buses, officers of the Omsk Region traffic police department checked on the drivers and found that one of them was drunk. He, however, had a tick in his waybill that he had been examined by a doctor as confirmed by a stamp and doctor’s signature. It turned out that the doctor did not do his job and had not examined the driver which basically put children’s lives in danger. The investigation has established that the drivers were to have been examined by doctors of Passenger Motor Transport Enterprise No 8 who in fact had not examined the drivers before trips.
By the investigators have searched the enterprise and confiscated documents which only confirmed preliminary conclusions made by the investigators. They are now questioning witnesses and carrying out investigative operations in order to find out all the details and reasons for the crime and those guilty of it. The investigation is continued.
