Russian Foreign Ministry: 'We regret that a purely criminal case was politicized and has darkened the overall atmosphere of bilateral relations. It's obvious that the decision to suspend the coroner investigation and begin 'public hearings' had a clear political motive. The reason is clear - the process, despite its name, wasn't transparent for the Russian side or the public, given the specifics of non-public examination of evidence under the pretext of "secrecy." Given this, there were no reasons to expect that the final report of a politically engaged and extremely non-transparent process, adjusted to a pre-set 'needed' result would suddenly be objective and unbiased.'
