The Moscow Office of the Investigative Committee reported on the completion of the investigation into the criminal case against the man accused of inducing a minor to commit suicide. This is reported on the department's website.
According to investigators, in April and May 2023, a Muscovite, under fictitious names, wrote messages to his friend urging her to commit suicide. The man's case was sent to court for consideration on the merits. It is not reported whether he admits his guilt.
In August 2022, a court in Omsk gave a year of probation to a teenager who encouraged another minor to commit suicide on VKontakte.
