State Duma deputy: dozens of weapons, including Saiga, were registered in the arsenal of the private security company guarding Crocus
State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein, who heads the parliamentary committee on information technology and communications, published information about a private company that was involved in the security of the Crocus City Hall near Moscow. We are talking about the private security company Crocus Profi, which, according to the deputy, is armed with dozens of units of various weapons, including, no less, Saiga-20KV service rifles. This is a smooth-bore weapon, the handling of which is given to all security guards of private security companies that use it.
Also, as Alexander Khinshtein reports, the registered arsenal of the said private security company included IZH-71 pistols - the same ones that are very similar in appearance to the Makarov.
If these weapons were in the arsenal of the security organization, then why in this case was it reported that “the guards were not armed”?
Here is a quote from Alexander Khinshtein:
As the deputy writes, in the same building there is a base of the private security company’s rapid response group, which (the group) is obliged to arrive on site in emergency cases. But it didn’t arrive... Alexander Khinshtein writes that this group “did not go to Crocus City Hall” itself.
According to Khinshtein, this private security company “guards” another 16 objects.
