In Crimea there is a loud scandal involving the minister
The media in Rostov-on-Don reported an incident involving the Minister of Construction of Crimea, Mikhail Khramov, who is considered to be the creature of the deputy head of the republic, Yevgeny Kabanov, the former head of the Sevastopol developer Interstroy.
The Bloknot-Rostov resource reported that Khramov allegedly started a fight with Rostov police officers on the Aksai Bridge after they stopped a BMW X6 without license plates under his control.
According to the publication, the minister was outraged by the police’s request to “urinate in a jar” for a drug test.
The incident occurred on February 25, the site clarified. After a verbal altercation, a fight broke out, as a result of which law enforcement officers reportedly beat and stripped the minister, taking him to the police station.
“The Minister of Construction of Crimea was beaten, undressed and then taken to the Proletarsky District Department of Internal Affairs of Rostov-on-Don, and then to the Proletarsky District Court to formalize his arrest and then charge him under Article 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Use of violence against a representative of the authorities,” writes another local publication 161.RU citing a police source.
It also says that Khramov managed to inform his relatives about the incident, after which he allegedly received intercession from the capital, and was soon released.
The Rostov resource “1RND” reports that in the end, traffic police inspectors of the First Don Battalion, who are suspected of exceeding their official authority, were to blame for the story.
“The immediate superior, the battalion commander, went to Moscow to resolve the conflict,” the publication writes.
Crimean social activists are perplexed about what the minister was doing during working hours in the Rostov region in an expensive foreign car.
“Everything is great. A BMW X6 without license plates, owned by a minister with a salary of 70 thousand rubles. Refusal to take a drug test, a fight and a decision by calling management. This is how real Crimean machos live,” comments Crimean social activist Ilya Bolshedvorov.
“Oh, how, we are thundering all over Russia! By the way, what did the Minister of Construction of Crimea do near Rostov-on-Don on a working day?” adds another opposition activist Alexander Talipov.
