Oleg Serebryansky, who previously held the roles of general director and chief physician at the Medicine 24/7 clinic, was detained at an airport after arriving from the Republic of Turkey and subsequently placed in a pre-trial detention center. This development was reported by the Investigative Committee of Russia.
The authorities indicate that Serebryansky is suspected of a crime described in Part 2 of Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which covers providing services that fail to meet safety requirements.
The report notes that Serebryansky reportedly evaded law enforcement in 2021 and was later placed on an international wanted list. A court has chosen detention as a preventive measure while investigations continue.
At present, the case involves ongoing investigative procedures, and prosecutors have stated that a formal criminal complaint will be filed in due course.
Elsewhere, the prosecutor’s office highlighted a separate development involving Alexander Kravchenko, the chief physician of the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center hospital. Kravchenko was sentenced to nine years in prison in connection with bribery cases involving prisoners and alleged false diagnoses. The Moscow Preobrazhensky Court subsequently handed down a seven-year sentence in a general regime colony related to these matters.
Earlier reports from Omsk indicated that Kravchenko had discussions with superiors about losses amounting to 9.5 million rubles in connection with the case.
In summary, authorities are pursuing multiple lines of inquiry related to professional conduct within medical facilities and the handling of cases that intersect with correctional settings. The ongoing actions reflect the careful approach taken by law enforcement to verify facts and pursue appropriate legal remedies, with further updates expected as investigations unfold.
