Russia's investigative Committee was forced to publish data on the results of the Governor of the Sakhalin region Alexander Horoshavin searches (recall that during the searches only cash was found in the equivalent of about 1 billion rubles), because the case against khoroshavina have tried to present "political". This was stated by the representative of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Vladimir Markin.
"8 of March, I announced a new information available in a criminal case. The fact that we didn't want to talk about it, - said Vladimir Markin. But we are forced sometimes to various community organizations.
