Russia fears that some pilots have fake licenses
MOSCOW
(AP) - Russian investigators are searching the state aviation agency to see if
some pilots may have fake licenses - part of an investigation into a plane crash
last month that killed all 50 people on board.
Investigative Committee
spokesman Vladimir Markin said in a statement Friday that investigators believe
some pilots working for Russian airlines have received fake licenses in centers
certified by the aviation agency.
Markin said there were reasons to
believe that the pilot who sent the Boeing 737 into a near-vertical dive after
an aborted first landing attempt had received his license illegally in a small
training center that was no longer functioning.
No criminal charges have
been filed yet in the crash, which took place in the city of Kazan, 720
kilometers (450 miles) east of Moscow.
