> Interior Ministry spokeswoman Irina Volk said some jewelry seized from blogger Valeria Chekalina’s home had gone missing, prompting a criminal investigation into investigator Nikita Tulupov. TASS later reported that prosecutors overturned the decision to open the case. The jewelry was worth 14.4 million rubles, and Chekalina’s lawyer said the investigator had refused to return it after the investigation ended.
