In Krasnoyarsk Krai, police detained suspects who were providing illegal medical services.
This was reported on the Telegram channel by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Irina Volk.
According to police, since 2023, the suspects have been offering drug addicts and alcoholics money to ease their condition.
To do this, they used potent drugs that are prohibited in the Russian Federation.
Moreover, the perpetrators acted at their own risk, without having a permit to practice medicine.
The Investigative Committee explained that the suspects provided services to citizens without observing the rules of medical care.
Patients were given solutions through IVs without any diagnostics. As a result, three people died.
Police, with the support of special forces, detained suspects in Krasnoyarsk, Sosnovoborsk, Kansk and Zheleznogorsk.
During the searches, they were found to have medical drugs, documents, and prescription forms that were not permitted in Russia.
A criminal case has been opened under Part 3 of Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Investigators will have to determine the exact number of victims of the illegal activities of the detainees.
