As it turned out, for the trip abroad the former head of the Office of the Prosecutor General used an invitation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), which was sent to his deputy Viktor Logachov. Logachov had previously refused this invitation, so the ministry's international department informed PACE about this.
