Police to seek annulment of license of opposition Duma deputy's private security firm

MOSCOW. June 28 (Interfax) - The Russian Interior Ministry department for Moscow has drafted a lawsuit it plans to file with the Moscow Court of Arbitration to annul the license of the Pantan private security agency reportedly belonging to the family of opposition State Duma deputy Gennady Gudkov, the department said.

"The private security firm's license was suspended for one month on May 25. An inspection conducted by the Moscow police's license service in response to complaints by individuals received by the Interior Ministry's public security department revealed significant violations related to the storage of official firearms," the department said in a statement posted on its website on Thursday.
