The unexpected court decision in the case of Oleg Shcherbinsky, previously accused of the death of the governor of the Altai Territory, can hardly be regarded as the capitulation of the authorities. Member of the Public Chamber, lawyer of the acquitted driver Anatoly Kucherena said today that in the near future Shcherbinsky will not file a claim for compensation for material damage. “We need to pause from filing a claim for compensation for material damage, since we cannot predict the further actions of the prosecutor’s office, which may appeal the court’s decision,” he said.
