Security officials explained the necessity of entering the apartment of the journalist supposedly rustling cat.

On Friday, June 2, the Moscow police searched the apartment of the journalist of “Novaya Gazeta” Elena Kostyuchenko in connection with the suspicion that there is hidden criminal.

This was reported in Facebook’s lawyer Svetlana Sidorkina.

“To blame the cat. This beauty was misled by the police today in the apartment of Lena Kostyuchenko. In protest, what was left in the apartment alone, jumped, threw things, thus creating a noise that aroused suspicion. Police suggested that in apartment someone is hiding, but found only the cat and the litter. In the entrance of the theft occurred, because the entrance no one came out, checked all the apartments in the entrance,” she wrote.

She Kostyuchenko said in an interview with The Insider, he did not believe in this version and links the actions of the police to his professional activities.

It is even difficult to explain to the offender, who allegedly is hiding in my apartment, because the police said that we are talking about theft, but to open the door without the presence of the owner is possible only in case of some serious crimes, like murder, do not steal,” said Kostyuchenko.

She also noted that she has two versions of events.

“One of them twice. My house was in a renovation programme and the Council is trying very hard to ensure that our house was demolished… the Second version – it may be something to do with my work, but I already find it difficult to name specific causes. Of course, you can believe in cat”, – the journalist added.
