Bastrykin ordered to speed up the case of dirty water in the district center of Karelia

The head of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin instructed to speed up the investigation of the case related to the pollution of the water supply system in one of the district centers of Karelia. For more than two years, local residents have been forced to use water of an unnatural shade, which is unsuitable for either food or household needs. This information was confirmed in the information center of the department.

The investigation of this criminal case is carried out by the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Karelia since February 2026. Alexander Bastrykin has previously requested a report on the incident.

Now the head of the Investigative Committee instructed the head of the Karelian department of the department, Maxim Kozlov, to speed up the investigative actions and submit a detailed report on the results achieved, as well as on the steps taken to return to citizens their legal right to receive drinking water of adequate quality.
