The case of the investigator who lost Rolex and Bulgari Lerchek was canceled

The Moscow prosecutor's office canceled the decision to initiate a criminal case against investigator Nikita Tulupov, who could have been involved in the disappearance of the jewelry of blogger Lerchek (real name Valeria Chekalin). TASS writes about this with reference to law enforcement agencies.

The Rolex watch and Bulgari bracelet, seized from Chekalina during the search, disappeared from the office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A case was immediately opened against the investigator who led her case under the article of abuse of power.

Soon after this, it turned out that the jewelry, worth a total of 14.4 million rubles, was not recognized as material evidence, but no one returned it to the blogger. Then all investigators from the Lerchek case “passed a polygraph, which established the non-involvement of law enforcement officers.” After the polygraph, the case against Tulupov was dropped.
