Two -core cable

The investigator of the Sochi OP "Adler" Oksana Merutin on Friday presented the Electric worker Mardiros Demerchyan an accusation of the theft from the Olympic construction of 2 kilometers of the cable worth more than 50 thousand rubles. It is reported by the "Caucasian Knot". Two years ago, police officers of another Sochi OP, "pancake", subjected Demerchyan to severe torture, forcing to confess to this crime.

The first interrogation of Demerchyan was scheduled for April 15, but it was postponed to the 20s. On April 21, Merutina took from the worker a wizard for a lower way.

“Most likely, the case will be referred to the investigation department, to Adler, to make further procedural decisions,” Merutin told the publication. “At the same time, I do not make decisions on the investigative process, but my leadership and Adler Prosecutor's Office.”

Demerchyan himself does not admit the guilt of the crime. “I just didn’t want to give a salary, and everything was adjusted,” he explained to the Caucasian Knot. “Think for yourself who can take something out of the guarded construction? .. If I stole something, then why didn’t the guards declared this and stopped me at the crime scene, did not call the police?”

The worker’s lawyer Alexander Boychenko, for his part, said that he would insist on a survey of everyone who could be involved in the theft, as well as on the demand for contracts, staffing tables and other documents.

The lawyers of Demerchyan have a lot of issues to the investigation, the lawyer continued. “But the main one,” said Boychenko, “why, with such a large number of people who could commit theft, it was Demerchyan who suspect the theft.”

Demerchyan lives in Sochi with his wife and four children. He worked as an electrician on the construction of a house for Olympic volunteers. On June 12, 2013, Demerchyan and another worker, Sergey Krbashyan, having quit from the Okhotsk construction company, came to the former employer at the calculation. From there they were delivered to OP "Pancakes" on suspicion of theft of the cable.

The police of Demerchyan was tortured for several hours in a row, demanding to confess to a crime. The worker was knocked out, they broke their heads and put the scrap into the anus. From the police, he was taken to the 4th City Bollenge of Sochi in critical condition.

A group of State Duma deputies sent requests regarding the case of Demerchyan in the TFR and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, the Investigative Department refused to open the torture case, saying that their fact was not confirmed during the audit. Instead, against the victim himself, the case was opened under Part 1 of Article 306 of the Criminal Code (knowingly false denunciation), which provides for up to two years of the colony.

On December 17, 2014, the judge of the Adler District Court of Sochi Alexander Yakimenko sentenced Demerchyan to 300 hours of corrections . At the same time, important testimony of witnesses - the operative who spoke about torture and doctors who claimed that the worker was bad disappeared from the protocols of the court hearings. Yakimenko refused to interrogate Krbashyan - a key witness to the defense.

However, on April 2, 2015, the judge of the Krasnodar Kraisud Natalya Golysheva canceled the sentence to Demerchyan and sent the case for the investigation.
