Michael is a disabled person of the II group. During service in the army, he received a contusion, due to which, already at 38, he officially became a pensioner. It is not in political parties or movements. Civil activist.
The lion's share of free time spends reading. Close and neighbors characterize Mikhail as "a person of exceptional intelligence."
June 8, 2012 was detained on suspicion of committing crimes under Part 2 of Art. 212 and Part 1 of Art. 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Participation in the riots and the application of violence to a representative of the authorities”). According to the investigation, on May 6, 2012, while in Bolotnaya Square, he "as part of a group of unidentified persons, twice hit an employee of OMON of Kazmin A.V., causing him injuries that are life -threatening." As evidence, the investigation gives a video in which unknown people tear off a helmet from a riot police and take a rubber baton from him, and Kosenko stands nearby.
The initial report of the victim Kazmin states that he did not see who struck him. Despite this, Judge Moskalenko sent Mikhail Kosenko to prison.
Mikhail cannot be in prison for health reasons, but the investigation said that the arrested person does not suffer from diseases that impede detention, presenting a certificate of medical examination in jail as evidence. Mikhail himself claims that there was no inspection: “A doctor provided by law enforcement agencies asked who I want to see at the head of state - and that’s all ...” The court ignored the arguments of the defense and left Mikhail in custody until November 6.
On September 24, a complaint against Kosenko was considered and rejected in the Moscow City Court. The preventive measure was left unchanged. Kocenko made a speech in court and accused the Russian authorities of the factory of political reasons. “No mass riots took place on May 6, no state property was destroyed, but what really was was the violence of riot police against citizens during a coordinated rally,” he said. - In the decision on my arrest, a lot of far -fetched, not true. OMON employees say that the batons were not used, while video materials say the opposite. ”
The case of Mikhail Kosenko was allocated into separate production, and he himself was recognized as insane. On November 1, in a closed mode, Zamoskvoretsky court extended him to arrest until April 22. In the case of Kosenko, 365 witnesses, 55 victims, including 3 legal entities.
On November 9, the first meeting was held in the Zamoskvoretsky district court on the merits of the case. In accordance with Article 120 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the defense asked Mikhail to change the preventive measure, but the judge rejected the petition. The meeting was postponed to November 28 . On this day, in the same Zamoskvoretsky court, the petitions of lawyers were mainly considered-on a repeated forensic psychiatric examination, about the allocation of the judge. All of them were rejected. The investigation was read out an indictment, which stated that “together with Luzyanin and unidentified persons, Kosenko tore off the ammun, tumbled down on the ground and held it, while others struck him and pierced his head. And Kosenko "inflicted at least one blow and one foot." Mikhail is the only one of the “Prisoners of May 6”, to whom it is charged with part 2 of article 318, the term of conclusion for which is up to 10 years.
The next meeting was held on January 23 in the Zamoskvoretsky court . The accusation was listed by photo and video materials, while not a word was said about Mikhail Kosenko himself.
At the fourth meeting, the prosecution listed material evidence. This list was published by a journalist Dmitry Borco : a ballpoint pen, a breakdown of a newspaper, sunglasses, etc. The damage that the police received were listed. According to experts, "it is not possible to reliably speak out about the origin of damage." Here is a twitter broadcast from this meeting.
On March 4, the next meeting was postponed to April 11.
The investigation is going to demand the sending of Mikhail for forced psychiatric treatment in view of his alleged insanity.
