Petrenko said that earlier on Saturday the investigators questioned Karapet Mikaelyan, the driver of the bus, and private entrepreneur Yuriy Vecheradze as suspects in the case.
"The investigation is requesting from the court to arrest the bus driver Karapet Mikaelyan and private entrepreneur Yuriy Vecheradze," she said.
The spokeswoman added that the investigators examined the confiscated documents of Tamanneftegas and its contractor for the pier construction, questioning the suspects, witnesses and victims as well as carrying out the necessary expert investigations.
The bus carrying about 50 construction workers plunged into the Kerch Strait near the village of Volna in the Krasnodar region on Friday killing 18 people. The body of the 18th, presumably the last victim of the crash, was found on Saturday morning, a source in a Krasnodar Territory department of the Russian Emergencies Ministry told Sputnik.

The bus was carrying about 50 construction workers who were working under contract for a private entrepreneur Yuriy Vecheradze, in a pier construction project. 18 died in the incident. The driver of the bus survived and there might be evidence suggesting - that it was not an accident? Maybe, there was a "pay dispute" or some other problem and Yuriy Vecheradze devised a method of getting rid of the workers and still keep his bank account? So, I can understand the need for an investigation.
Putin has also asked for an investigation into the Rostov-on-Don fire. Some local residents are claiming that the acts of arson were perpetrated by Real Estate agents, who intend to buy land in the center of the city at a low price?
