Interior official fired
The Kremlin says President Dmitry Medvedev has fired a senior Interior Ministry official allegedly connected to the fraud case of a lawyer who later died in prison. Medvedev fired Anatoly Mikhalkin from the tax crimes department at Moscow police. The death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky caused a public uproar last month because of his alleged prison conditions.
