The priest is clean

According to the court's decision, the case against Taratukhin was dropped because law enforcement agencies did not provide evidence of his guilt. Earlier, the Chita Magistrate's Court acquitted three more participants in the picket in support of the ex-head of YUKOS, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, which took place on February 8. Although initially the organizer of the event, Marina Savateeva, was found guilty and sentenced to a fine of one thousand rubles. However, this decision was soon appealed to a higher court, which dropped the charges against her.
