Tatarstan investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee continue investigating a criminal case over a fire in the Admiral shopping center. To date, the court has decided to remand 49-year-old Deputy CEO of OOO Zarya Gyulguseyn Nadzhafov in custody at the request of investigators.

We remind you that a criminal case in a crime under part 3 of article 238 of the RF Penal Code (delivering services not meeting safety standards entailing death of two or more people by negligence) has been opened against him, as well as against CEO of OOO Zarya – the lease holder of the Admiral shopping center – 30-year-old Guseyn Gakhramanov, and his Second Deputy 34-year-old Nikolai Kayekin.

According to investigators Gakhramanov, his deputies and other persons illegally used the building as a shopping center. They were aware that the facility had been used for a long time without permission and with gross violations of fire safety rules, but did nothing to put it right.
