Helicopters to monitor emergencies on St Pete-Moscow highway.
MOSCOW, December 27 (Itar-Tass) - First helicopters will be engaged in an emergency response system in 2010 to monitor a highway between St. Petersburg and Moscow, Emergencies Minister Sergei Shoigu said.
He noted that the emergency response system is being gradually
introduced on the St. Petersburg-Moscow highway. "Eight helicopter sites
have already appeared in the Leningrad region and four - in the Novgrorod
region. In the future such sites will be built in the Tver and Moscow
regions," the minister said.
Shoigu stressed that in the future helicopter sites will be also
created on the Don Highway, which runs from Moscow to the Rostov region
and in Siberia.
.Russians more often commit crimes abroad - prosecutor's office.
MOSCOW, December 27 (Itar-Tass) - Russians are more often found
brought to responsibility for crimes committed abroad, while foreign
citizens - for crimes committed in Russia, the deputy prosecutor-general,
Alexander Zvyagintsev, said.
This is proved by the criminal statistics that the prosecutor-general'
s office receives from foreign countries and sends to them, he said.
"This year we sent 125 criminal cases to foreign countries, whose
citizens had been engaged in these crimes. This is a 36-percent rise as
against 2008," he said.
At the same time, the number of crimes committed by Russian citizens
abroad demonstrated a 10-percent increase. "In 2008 we received 186 cases
against our citizens, who committed crimes abroad and fled. This year we
have already 203 criminal cases," Zvyagintsev said adding this year there
were such reports from the United States, Austria, Panama and Brazil.
According to the prosecutor-general's office, Russia established
effective cooperation in the criminal and legal sphere with Ukraine,
Belarus, Armenia and Kazakhstan and with non-CIS countries - Switzerland,
France, Germany and Spain.
.Far East's single-industry town to get support from government.
VLADIVOSTOK, December 27 (Itar-Tass) - Svetlogorye, an industrial town
in Russia's Far East, will become one of the country's twenty towns to be
engaged in the governmental program for the development of single-industry
towns, First Vice-Premier Igor Shuvalov told reporters on Sunday.
He visited the Primorsky territory on Friday.
"In 2010 pilot projects to develop 20 single-industry towns will be
implemented. The federal budget earmarks 10 billion roubles for this
purpose," he said. "We should not allow monotowns to be dependent on one
big enterprise. Therefore efforts will be taken in Svetlogorye to develop
small and medium businesses."
The tungsten plant Russky Volfram in Svetlogorye was shut down in
September. Seven-month wage arrears totalled 6 million roubles. After the
Primorsky territory's administration interfered, the debts were paid and
the plant was transferred to the state-run structure for five years. In
October the plant resumed its ore mining works.
.Interior Ministry forecasts decline in raider attacks in 2010.
MOSCOW, December 27 (Itar-Tass) - Russia's Interior Ministry forecasts
that the number of raiding-related crimes will reduce in 2010, said
Ryashit Akzhigitov, spokesman for the ministry's investigative committee.
This is linked not only with effective work of law enforcement
agencies, but also with amendments to the Code of Arbitration banning
minority shareholders that own, for instance, a 0.5 percent stake to use
court rulings to block decisions of majority shareholders with 80 percent
stakes, he said.
Akzhigitov stressed that the Interior Ministry submitted to courts
over 40 cases on raider attacks in 2009 and almost 400 such cases are
being investigated.
He admitted that several years ago "it was difficult to fight
raiders", but the turning point occurred when it became possible not to
bring them to responsibility on such 'light' charges as arbitrariness, but
to accuse them of fraud and sentence to prison. As a result, despite the
lack of articles in the Criminal Code on raiding "the effective
legislation makes it possible to bring them to responsibility."
The head of the Interior Ministry's investigative committee, Major
General Alexei Anichin said in turn, the Interior Ministry has been
seeking the introduction of the notion 'raiding' in the Criminal Code for
five years.
"However, all these questions are still pending," he said.
