In Rezh, the editor-in-chief was convicted of defamation for criticizing the local prosecutor under a pseudonym.

      The editor-in-chief of the publication "News of Rezh," Olga Romantseva, has been sentenced by the court to a large fine for defamation in a publication.

      The material that served as the basis for the initiation of the criminal case criticized former prosecutor Nikolai Udalov and was published under Romantseva's pseudonym in August 2022. The media accused the city prosecutor's office of inaction regarding the sale of land in the city center to a local businessman at a significantly undervalued price.

      An article about the failure of the concession agreement for the construction of a gas turbine power plant, for which, according to the editor-in-chief of the publication, hundreds of millions of rubles were allocated from the budget, was also published under Romantseva's pseudonym.

      "I believe that by publishing articles under the name of Viktor Alexandrov, I acted solely in the interests of the city's residents. None of them called me a criminal or condemned me," said Olga Romantseva, as reported by 66.RU.

      The case of the journalist was handled by investigators from Berezovsky (to avoid a conflict of interest). Initially, Romantseva was involved in the case as a witness. A year ago, searches were conducted at her and her elderly parents' apartment.

      The case against Romantseva was considered in a closed session by a magistrate. The defendant was sentenced to a fine of 400,000 rubles but was released from paying it due to the expiration of the statute of limitations on the case, reports 66.RU.
