Former deputy head of the Sverdlovsk center “E” Sergei Shalaginov was found dead in Yekaterinburg

In Yekaterinburg, the former deputy head of the center for countering extremism (Center “E”) of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Sverdlovsk Region, Sergei Shalaginov, was found dead. As E1 reports with reference to the head of the press service of the regional headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Valery Gorelykh, his death, contrary to information on the network, is in no way connected with the conflict in the service.

“Unfortunately, the Sverdlovsk police garrison really suffered an irreparable loss,” Gorelykh said. He added that shortly before the incident, Shalaginov submitted a report on dismissal due to length of service. Before his retirement, the man was offered a promotion. “As for the alleged conflict in the service, which was written about by individual telegram channels that did not check the information with the relevant departments for veracity, this is nothing more than speculation,” summed up the head of the press service.

Sergei Shalaginov was found without signs of life near a multi-storey building on Shchorsa Street on Tuesday, September 1. It was previously reported that his death was not related to crime. The man is survived by his children and wife.
