Criminal case launched in Brest region for social networks post


Investigators have opened a case over libel in relation to the social network user who posted information in a Luninets community in social networks.

This was reported by the Investigative Committee of the Brest region.

The police are now establishing the identity of the perpetrator. According to the case files, on 28 July an unidentified person left a post in the social network containing false information defaming the honor and dignity of a young resident of the Luninets district. The post was accompanied by a photo of the victim, stating its name.

On July 31, the victim filed a statement with the police in order to bring the unknown user to responsibility. During the preliminary examination, it was established that the information in the post was not true. Thereafter, the materials were handed over to the Investigative Committee.

“As part of the investigation, we are checking the involvement in the crime of the woman’s acquaintances and her family, who could post the false information due to hostile relations. Also, to expose this person (who spread slander – ed.) we will send a request for legal assistance to the relevant law enforcement authorities of the Russian Federation and requests to other relevant organizations,” said representative of the regional office of the Investigative Committee.
