He noted that the searches had taken place at the first Deputy Grisin Andrei Krykunenko and the head of the capital construction department, Svetlana Moravsky. In his Twitter account, the deputy wrote that they had computers and documents removed.

“I wish to say that I am surprised by the comments of the Investigation Committee, which does not confirm the fact that searches have been conducted. That's not true, the Ministry of Construction was searched. I declare it with full responsibility. What these searches are connected, I recommend that you ask the Investigation Committee, said Hinstein.

He did not deny or confirm that the searches of the minefields were related to the preparations for the World Cup in 2018.

“I am not yet ready to elaborate on the documentation for the construction of the stadium, but it is my intention to publish all these materials in the near future”, added Hinstein.

“The information on alleged searches at the Ministry of the Construction of the Samara Region is not true. The information was not confirmed by the regional GUs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the SC of the Russian Federation, which was said by Chernobyl in a statement sent to the Russian Federation.

He recalled that the " Samara Stadium Proceedor " was the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation, and the contractor was the Kazan PDF. That is why, according to Chernyshev, the regional mine is not directly related to the construction of the stadium.
