On the video, you can hear how the people’s deputy says: “Come on and quietly go”, “We will find you later and I will thank you.”
The policeman said that he did not remember exactly what Trukhin told him, but in general, according to Petrik, he repeated that he was an important person and all the policemen would be happy if they let him go.
According to the police officer, Trukhin said that he had a bag of money in the trunk of his car, and he was ready to give it to law enforcement officers.
“Bring a sports bag, there are 150,000,” Trukhin told the policeman, and later offered again: “I’ll ship you 150 just in case. Keep it for yourself as a bonus.”
According to Petrik, Trukhin had signs of alcoholic intoxication, he clarified that it is possible to speak about the state of alcoholic intoxication only on the basis of the results of the examination.
The people’s deputy refused to take an alcohol test.
The editors of the UP publicly addressed the State Bureau of Investigation with the question whether the video materials from the police cameras shown by the journalists were attached to the case file. If not, the editors expressed their readiness to transfer the available materials to the SBI in full.
