Russian Prosecutor General's Office presents unique online project
MOSCOW. April 4 (Interfax) - The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has presented at Interfax a unique online project. For the first time in Russia, full crime records will be disclosed alongside stages of processing of appeals from concrete citizens.
"This is the matter of authenticity of statistic records of crime, crime detection, crime investigation, processing of statements and crime reports," First Deputy Prosecutor General Alexander Buksman said at the presentation of the "Portal of Legal Statistics of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office" at Interfax on Thursday.
Prosecutors still have many claims to crime statistic distortions: "three million unregistered crimes have been discovered yearly for a number of years alongside legal statistics violations," he said.
Hence, it has been decided to open a public "portal of legal statistics of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office" at crimestat.ru, he said.
So far, the portal is on a trial run. It is accessible to residents of Moscow and three other regions of Russia.
