The head of a kindergarten in Paraul was sent to pretrial detention after poisoning children.

The prosecutor's office in the Karabudakhkent district of Dagestan has secured a strict pretrial detention order for the director of a child care center in the village of Paraul, where children were poisoned by carbon monoxide.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on February 7, the "Chudo" children's center in Paraul, where children were poisoned by carbon monoxide, was closed and sealed by order of Rospotrebnadzor. The agency filed a lawsuit demanding that the facility be suspended.

The individual entrepreneur who managed the private child care facility in the village of Paraul was sent to a pretrial detention center at the request of investigators and the prosecutor's office.

The Karabudakhkent District Court of Dagestan initially refused to remand the woman in custody and sentenced her to a month of house arrest, but the supervisory authority successfully overturned the decision by filing an appeal. The Supreme Court of Dagestan overturned the district court's ruling and remanded the case for a new trial.

After reviewing the case materials again, the Karabudakhkent District Court remanded the defendant in custody for one month and nine days, according to a statement on the court's website today.

The entrepreneur is accused of providing services that do not meet safety requirements (Part 2 of Article 238 of the Russian Criminal Code), which carries a prison sentence of up to six years. According to the prosecutor's office, numerous violations were identified in the operation of the child care center—in particular, the facility operated in an unauthorized building, and the court has already ordered its demolition.

Earlier, the prosecutor's office reported that the one-story building, which the individual entrepreneur rented from the owner, was built without permits.
