We have almost two thousand respondents, 150 terabytes of information that has now been analyzed, from which conclusions have been drawn. And we understand that there is a certain circle of suspects, we also understand that these suspects may now be hiding, and most likely are hiding. Therefore, I understand that the law enforcement system in terms of the investigation has currently done 95% of the work that could be done based on the data and evidence that could now be collected,” said the adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
