The message reads, in part:
“Congratulations on the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation as an independent federal state agency.
Over these years, the Investigative Committee has become a vital element of the national law enforcement system. While maintaining and strengthening the best traditions of their predecessors, the agency’s personnel steadfastly defend the interests of the state, protect the rights and freedoms of our citizens, and make a major contribution to the fight against terrorism, extremism and crime. Of course, I would like to express special gratitude to the investigators working in the zone of the special military operation, who uncover and document the crimes of the neo-Nazi regime and help establish law and order in Donbass and Novorossiya.
I am confident that you will continue to perform your professional duties with dignity, fulfil the tasks set for the Investigative Committee, and serve the Motherland and the people of Russia diligently and loyally.”
