President Dmitry Medvedev's bodyguards have been left red-faced after a senior Moscow region prosecutor breached security at the Gorki-9 presidential residence in an attempt to meet Medvedev, news reports said.
Stanislav Buyansky, the 30-year-old first deputy prosecutor for the Moscow region, managed to enter Medvedev's residence outside Moscow on May 28, Interfax and Russian News Service reported, citing law enforcement sources.
Buyansky "wanted to meet" Medvedev or his wife and "talk to them," said a source with the Federal Guard Service, which is responsible for protecting the president and other senior officials, Russian News Service reported. He was found waiting by a chapel on the premises, the source said.
The guards released Buyansky after a scolding, a law enforcement source told Interfax on Friday.
Federal Guard Service spokesman Sergei Devyatov denied that Buyansky had visited Gorki-9, Interfax reported.
But Buyansky, who had worked in the prosecutor's office since 2001 and was promoted to first deputy prosecutor in August, resigned on the day of the incident for unspecified reasons, Russian News Service said.
Buyansky will not face any charges for his actions, Rosbalt reported Friday, citing a law enforcement source.
Medvedev met with senior United Russia leaders at Gorki-9 on May 28.
Repeated calls to the Moscow region prosecutor's press office went unanswered Friday.
Criminal psychologists told Interfax that "expansive" people often try to meet senior officials to "solve their own problems," especially during the spring and fall. June 1 is the first day of the meteorological summer.
