(Adnkronos) – The Kremlin called “shocking” the news of the death of former Russian Transport Minister Roman Starovoit, found lifeless yesterday in his private car in Odintsovo, in the Moscow region, a few hours after the publication of the decree signed by Vladimir Putin for his dismissal. “News of this kind is always tragic and painful. They cannot fail to shock normal people. Of course, they shocked us too,” said presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, quoted by Interfax.
“The president was informed of the news immediately. In this case, I would not like to comment further. An investigation is underway, and it is this that will have to answer all the questions – added Peskov, underlining – As long as the investigation is underway, one can reflect on what happened, but that is up to journalists, political scientists and others. It is not our job”. According to the Russian Investigative Committee, the main lead at the moment is suicide.
