The General Director of the Russian airline Severstal was informed of the suspicion by the Crimean Prosecutor’s Office. The Prosecutor’s Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea reports this on its Telegram channel.
The investigation established that the Russian citizen has been organizing illegal regular passenger air transportation from the closed Simferopol International Airport since 2018 and still does.
