The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus does not intend to publish photofits of suspects in the terrorist attack in Minsk on April 11 in the media. This was stated by Deputy Head of Information and Public Relations of Belarus Ministry of Internal Affairs Konstantin Shalkevich. However, he confirmed the authenticity of the online distributed identikit of one of the suspects.
«Yes, this is one of the two photofits, mentioned today by the Interior Minister of Belarus, Anatoli Kuleshov,» declared the representative of Ministry of Internal Affairs and noted that its quality was noticeably worse than the original one. According to him, this may be due to the fact that the picture was processed in Photoshop or transmitted to the original source by fax, AFN.
The appearance of the photofits in the media, despite the intentions of the law enforcement to prevent this from happening, was called by Konstantin Shalkevich «an internal issue of information leakage.»
