The Moscow court has decided to impose a precautionary measure on Natalia Dushkina, who is a defendant in a high-profile child trafficking case. Dushkina has been placed under house arrest for a period of 26 days, until June 16, 2024. According to the investigation, Dushkina is accused of crimes related to human trafficking and involving minors in criminal activities. This decision was made by the general jurisdiction courts and was announced through their Telegram channel.
The investigation has revealed that Dushkina, along with other individuals, including Yulia Loginova, Natalia Patoka, and others, formed a criminal group. They worked together to engage in illegal activities related to the trafficking of newborn babies. These activities were carried out in violation of the established adoption procedures in Russia.
It is worth noting that Yulia Loginova, who is the mother of 15 children, was also arrested in connection with this case. She was detained after it was discovered that one of the children in her care had been given a prohibited medication. Loginova claimed that three of her children were born through a surrogate mother, while she gave birth to the other two herself in 2018 and 2019. However, it has been determined that since undergoing surgery in 2010, Loginova was unable to conceive a child. Genetic testing confirmed that there is no biological relationship between her and the five children.
Natalia Patoka, a 44-year-old woman who was also dependent on state support for her 15 children, was involved in facilitating the registration of the children under Yulia Loginova's name. She was also arrested in connection with the case.
The investigation has revealed other instances where individuals were involved in the illegal trafficking of infants. These cases could potentially implicate employees of civil registry offices, orphanages, and private clinics. Lawyers believe that the investigation of this child trafficking case could have far-reaching implications and reveal a network of individuals involved in these illegal activities.
