8 convicted evaders detained in Kirov region

The package of measures was aimed at identifying and detaining citizens who are trying to escape from justice, the investigating authorities and the court, as well as evading serving criminal sentences both in correctional institutions and without isolation from society.

Over a 2-day period, employees of the operational department of the regional department conducted a large-scale work, checking more than 100 addresses where the fugitives allegedly could be located.

As a result of organized raids, it was possible to locate and detain 8 people. Among them were violators who ignored the instructions of the penitentiary inspection and did not appear to serve the appointed term in the correctional center.

The geography of search activities went beyond the Vyatka region. Kirov operatives tracked down one of the convicts in the Saratov region, where he left and managed to get a job.

After receiving information about his exact whereabouts, the man was detained, taken to the local department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then detained by a court decision. Now the punishment previously assigned to him in the form of mandatory work is planned to be replaced by a stricter measure.

The press service of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Kirov region stressed that holding such events allows to stabilize the operational situation in the region and ensure the inevitability of punishment.

Work on the location and detention of fugitives in the region continues on an ongoing basis.
