In St. Petersburg opened a criminal case on the fact of the escape of the man who was placed on involuNY quarantine in the boarding house “dawn” in the Resort area after he violated a two-week regime of self-isolation, put it on his return from Switzerland.

involved in the case – George Samples born in 1987, reported on the website of the Investigative Committee of Russia, without specifying articles of the Criminal code, which accused the citizen of Petersburg. “Fontanka” writes that we are talking about the article 236 of the criminal code “Attempted infringement sanitary-epidemiological rules”. It provides a real penalty for mass infection of the population or death of one person. Criminal cases under this article during the epidemic of coronavirus in Russia have not been initiated.

At the headquarters of the legal aid organization “Agora” has paid attention that the information that Samples had infected anyone, no. “I believe that the initiation of proceedings on this fact is obviously illegal. The message of the TFR can be regarded as psychological pressure on everyone who is quarantined”, – said the lawyer “Agora” Vladimir Voronin.

According to him, prior to the adoption of amendments to the criminal code introducing criminal liability for violation of the quarantine, any prosecution on these facts illegally, it is possible to only administrative responsibility under article 6.3 of the administrative code (“Violation of legislation in the field of ensuring sanitary and epidemiological welfare of population”).

According to “Fontanka”, the Samples arrived March 21, from Switzerland. At the airport, he warned of the need to isolate themselves for two weeks, but after that he came out of his apartment. On 26 March he was sent to a supervised quarantine at the boarding house “dawn”, but the next night he got out of a locked room through a window and escaped.

the Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov, commenting on the escape of the men, suggested that he decided to “throw a party” on the occasion of the upcoming birthday. “Here we have one woman also came to the party, as a result, 15 people were infected. Each of the atwith the potential to harm your family, friends, mate, family, children. How to reach this? I ask you – you get” turned fluently to journalists. The press service later said that it was about 15 infected was not about Petersburg.

escape Obraztsova was warned all the police and the CPS. His apartment has exposed the surveillance, but he never returned. On Saturday the man was detained at a different location. “Fontanka” reports that the wanted for violation of a quarantine declared another resident of the Northern capital named Larissa. 20 March, she returned in Moscow from Sri Lanka. According to the girls at the airport her “no one searched, the questionnaire was not presented, temperature not measured”.

Home girl in line with the new rules reported in the CPS. Symptoms of coronavirus it was not, but on March 23, she went to the doctor for testing. He refused to take the tests, explaining that without symptoms testing is not performed.

March 27, the police of the Kalinin district of St. Petersburg came to the apartment of the sister of Larissa, where she was, but not lives. Not finding the girl there, made out, and also collected materials for acquisition under article 19.4 of the administrative code (disobedience to a lawful order of the authority exercising state supervision).

the state Duma has already received the amendments, provides for up to seven years imprisonment for violation of the quarantine, if it killed two or more people. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin also announced fines for citizens, officials and legal entities who refuse to abide by the quarantine.

the interior Ministry had previously reported the involvement of over 500 people to administrative responsibility for violation of the quarantine coronavirus. The first high-profile criminal case on the fact of non-compliance with the isolation regime became a thing of the now former chief of infectious diseases, Stavropol territory Irina Sannikova, without the knowledge of the management went to Spain, and then did not abide by a mandatory quarantine and went to work. Later she was diagnosed with coronavirus, but before admission, she managed to get in touch with several hundred people. It brought a case on the charges of coverup and negligence.
