MOSCOW. Jan 31 (Interfax) - Moscow hopes for the soonest investigation of the death of Russian citizen Alexander Dolmatov at a deportation facility in the Netherlands, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich told a Thursday press briefing in Moscow.
"We expect the investigation to be completed shortly," he said.
Investigation details cannot be disclosed until the end of the investigation by the Netherlands rules, the diplomat remarked.
The Russian ambassador met with the secretary general of the Netherlands Security and Justice Ministry in the Hague on January 29, Lukashevich said.
Dolmatov was an activist of The Other Russia party and a designer of a leading defense plant.
After the opposition protest rally on Moscow's Bolotnaya Square on May 6, 2012, and the opening of a criminal case, Dolmatov asked for political asylum in the Netherlands. It became known in January that he committed suicide at the Rotterdam deportation facility.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told a press conference on January 23 that Moscow would insist on the establishment of the truth about Dolmatov's suicide in the Netherlands.
