Russia's Investigative Committee released on Tuesday, April 3, CCTV footage showing the moments after a deadly fire broke out in a shopping mall in the Siberian city of Kemerovo, which killed 64 people.
The fire, one of the deadliest in the country since the break-up of the Soviet Union, swept through a cinema complex and children's play area on the upper floors of the Winter Cherry shopping mall on March 25.
Children could be seen rushing out of a playroom and grabbing their things at the entrance as the blaze grew in intensity.
Investigators said last week that fire exits at the mall had been illegally blocked, the public address system was not switched on, the alarm system was broken, and children had been locked inside cinemas.
Russian police on Friday, March 30, arrested the general director of ОАО Kemerovo Confectionary Combine, which owned the "Winter Cherry" mall.
The Investigative Committee, a state body that investigates major crimes, said in a statement the executive, Yulia Bogdanova, had failed to address shortcomings in fire safety at the shopping mall.
Former head of state inspection on construction works in Kemerovo region Tanzilia Komkova was also arrested and charged with failing to stop unauthorised construction and exploitation in the mall.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said the incident was caused by criminal negligence and those responsible would be punished.
