The formal reason for deprivation Helgi и Sergei The failure to submit income declarations became a violation of their authority. However, the deputies themselves claim that they submitted the declarations through assistants, but this method did not satisfy the authorities.
"We simultaneously failed to submit declaration notifications, submitted them but late, and submitted them but fake (what?). And now they want to strip us of our mandates 'due to LOSS OF CONFIDENCE'!
