[Text] Bonn/Cologne--The Soviet Embassy in the Federal Republic today rejected press
reports according to which Ambassador Tsarpkin had started criminal proceedings against
the Cologne police in connection with the death of embassy counsellor Vorontsov. At
the same time the Cologne prosecutors office confirmed that no statement of criminal
proceedings by Tsarapkin had been received by it or the head of police.
After the dath of Vorontsov in a car accident on 25 February, charges of espionage
had been made against him. A spokesman of the Soviet Embassy today described as
"lies" reports that Tsarapkin had accused the German police of murder by arguing
that Vorontsov would have had a chance to survive if, despite the fact that death
had been established, the doctor had immediately sent him to a hospital. The Federal
Government, the spokesman said, had placed at the disposal of the embassy all
available results of the investigation.
The prosecutors office in Cologne has stated that investigations had "not yielded
any adequate indication of a punishable behavior of the Cologne police or other
persons active after the accident." Hence, there was no need for opening official
investigations.
