A native of Tajikistan has been detained due to the death of a Russian blogger

The law enforcement agencies detained a 26-year-old citizen of Tajikistan in connection with the case of the deceased blogger.

Details have emerged regarding the death of popular blogger Yulia Burceva, who passed away the day before after undergoing a buttock augmentation surgery at a clinic in Moscow.

The specialist who performed the fatal procedure has already been detained. She turned out to be a 26-year-old native of Tajikistan, who, according to the investigation, had no medical education, no specialized training, and no license for medical practice.

According to Russian media, on January 4, at the Elmas Clinic branch in Moscow, the condition of the 38-year-old blogger, who had over 70,000 followers on social media, sharply deteriorated after the buttock augmentation surgery.

Preliminary data suggests that she developed anaphylactic shock — an allergic reaction to the medication. Despite emergency hospitalization at the nearest hospital, the woman could not be saved.

Investigators established that the native of Tajikistan, Shoira Nazulloeva, only rented an office at the prestigious Moscow clinic Elmas but was never part of the institution’s staff.

The woman has been charged under the article “Causing death by negligence” (part 2 of article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), which carries a penalty of up to three years in prison.

Currently, an investigation is underway to determine on what grounds the owners of the medical facility rented the premises to an unverified specialist.

The deceased blogger Yulia Burceva was a native of Samara. For the last five years, she lived in Italy with her Italian husband. In her blog, she showcased life in Italy. She had over 70,000 followers on social media.
