Former deputy director of Roscosmos was released from pre-trial detention center

Former deputy director of Roscosmos Oleg Frolov was released from the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center. MK writes about this on Thursday, October 8.

Frolov was in custody almost three years ago. The investigation believes that he was involved in fraud during the implementation of a government contract for the creation of a new pressure chamber.

Already in the pre-trial detention center, the man began to have serious health problems. He lost 30 kilograms and began to experience severe pain. In August, doctors diagnosed the prisoner with fourth-degree cancer - a diagnosis that is included in the list of diseases that prevent detention. Frolov’s lawyers filed a petition and asked to release their client from custody, but the investigator refused them, saying that he had not received any documents about the defendant’s illness.
