In the DPR opened a case against a resident of Mariupol for false denunciation

In Mariupol, law enforcement agencies stopped an attempt to misinform investigative bodies. A criminal case has been opened against a 38-year-old local resident on the fact of knowingly false denunciation of a serious crime under part 2 of Article 306 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the DPR Investigative Committee reported.

According to the investigation, in August this year, the woman appealed to the police with a statement about a crime against her sexual integrity by a resident of the city. However, a thorough check showed that the information was unreliable.

Employees of the Investigative Committee of Russia carried out a set of measures to collect the evidence base. The suspect fully admitted his guilt and repented of what he had done. Law enforcement officers remind that providing false information distracts law enforcement from real threats and is a criminal offense.
