Tyumen resident came to Bastrykin for a personal meeting because of scandals with pedophiles in an orphanage
Tyumen resident Elena Veselaya, who told about what was happening in the orphanage of the Sverdlovsk region, reached the head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin. Earlier, several scandals related to pedophilia occurred in the orphanage.
Today, October 16, she was at a private reception with the general and told him that the workers of the orphanage stole things brought by the Veselaya Charitable Foundation.
Tyumen residents also said that they began receiving threats after Sverdlovsk Region investigators disclosed their personal information. She had previously recorded a video message to Bastrykin on this topic.
— The personal application was conducted via video link. I brought a lot of documents. Sverdlovsk investigators said that I had contacted them with a complaint about threats and denied the use of violence against children, and claimed that it was just a "spanking". I told Bastrykin that his people misunderstood him. The investigators also said yesterday that they had opened a criminal case against the management of the orphanage for allegedly concealing stories about pedophiles. Bastrykin was surprised that this happened right before the closed reception, despite the fact that he had written several complaints to the security forces. He had many questions about the progress of the investigation." Elena Veselaya told 72.RU.
After talking with Vesela, Bastrykin demanded that the chairman of the Sverdlovsk Investigative Committee provide a report on the criminal case opened based on the complaint of the Tyumen residents. Investigators are currently investigating a case of sexual abuse of children in an orphanage and a computer science teacher accused of producing child pornography.
"After hearing a detailed report, the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia decided to transfer the criminal case to the main investigative department of the Investigative Committee for further investigation in order to ensure an objective investigation," the press service of the Investigative Committee reported.
Elena Veselaya told the editorial staff of 72.RU that after the personal meeting, Moscow investigators immediately contacted her. Bastrykin also ordered an investigation of the investigators of the Sverdlovsk region.
where it all began
In 2023, Elena Veselaya filed complaints with investigative authorities about the poor management of orphanages in the Sverdlovsk region. The reason was that unknown individuals began blackmailing students at the institution and demanding their intimate photos. After her appeal, law enforcement officers identified and arrested the man.
In January 2024, Veselaya again made a statement about cases of pedophilia, the victims of which were children. On January 4, she filed an official appeal to the Investigative Committee and recorded a video message to the Chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin. The next day, law enforcement agencies began investigating the incident.
