Five managers of a Moscow-based firm selling biologically active additives broke their legs after jumping from a second-story window in an attempt to flee police investigators who came to search their office, RIA-Novosti reported Wednesday.
The managers were hospitalized after the incident Tuesday, a law enforcement source said, without identifying the men. He did not elaborate on what prompted the search of the company, Zdorovye Ot Prirody, or on whether any charges might be filed as a result of the investigation. It was not immediately clear which food products used additives made by the company.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
