The wife found the missing Yekaterinburg resident dead in the car.
In the Sverdlovsk region, the relatives of 38-year-old Mikhail Oshkin, who was found dead in a car two weeks after his disappearance, reported police inaction. According to them, law enforcement officials repeatedly refused to accept a missing person report.
Mikhail, who worked as a builder and lived in Kamensk-Uralsky, went missing on July 17. On that day, he left in his Ford Focus towards Yekaterinburg and stopped communicating.
As his relatives told "KP-Yekaterinburg," the man's civil wife contacted police department No. 23 on July 20 and 21, but the missing person report was not accepted. According to the relatives, police officers explained this by saying that Mikhail had left home before and later returned.
On July 30, the family returned to the department. A police officer took the civil wife's contact information and promised to come for personal belongings for a DNA examination, but this did not happen.
On August 1, the family decided to search for Mikhail on their own. After a few hours, the civil wife found his car towards Yekaterinburg. The car was locked, and inside was the body of the man.
Relatives believe that Mikhail's death may have been related to debts. According to them, shortly before his disappearance, he had accumulated a debt of about three million rubles.
After the incident, the family contacted the prosecutor's office and the chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin. They are asking to check the actions of the police officers and provide a legal assessment.
The head of the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk region, Valery Gorelykh, reported that a service check has been appointed in the duty unit of police department No. 23. If the information about inaction is confirmed, disciplinary measures may be applied to the officers and their management, ranging from reprimands to dismissal.
