The prosecutor asks for Tamara Rochlina 4 years in colony, the defense insists on its complete excuse

The public prosecutor asked the Naro -Fominsky City Court to admit Tamaru Rochlin guilty of the murder of her husband - General Lev Rokhlin and to sentence her to four years in prison. According to the prosecutor, Rochlin should serve his sentence in a general regime colony.

In turn, the lawyer Rokhlina Anatoly Kucheren asked the court to fully justify his client "due to the lack of evidence of her guilt in the case file," Interfax reports.

“The demand of the prosecutor is not based on the case file. In his speech, the state prosecutor allowed a distortion of facts, moreover, the state prosecutor Mikhail Dean assigned himself the role of a court, repeatedly stating that the“ court established ”certain facts,” the lawyer noted.

In his opinion, the court and the prosecutor's office did not comply with the requirement contained in the ruling of the Supreme Court of 2001, which indicates the absence of Tamara Rochlina’s guilt in the case of evidence. “No new evidence was presented when repeated consideration,” Kucheren emphasized.

He also said that in the near future, 8 thousand euros should be received by Tamara Rokhlina from the Russian Federation, which the state is obliged to pay by decision of the European Court of Human Rights .

"Rokhlina was reported (the government) on the need to open a bank account for transferring funds, " RIA Novosti quoted Kucheren.

The leader of the movement "in support of the army", State Duma deputy Lev Rokhlin was killed on the night of July 3, 1998 at the country near Moscow. Initially, his wife admitted to the murder, but later changed the testimony, saying that she had stipulated herself under pressure and out of fear for her family, and the murder of the general committed three unknown in masks.

In November 2000, the Naro-Fominsky City Court found her guilty and sentenced her to eight years in prison, but on December 21, 2000, the Moscow Regional Council reduced the sentence of to four years and freed Tamara Rokhlin from custody. Then the conviction was canceled by the Supreme Court, and the case was sent for a new consideration to the city court of Naro-Fominsk.

At the first after the break in the meeting on March 2, the Naro-Fominsky City Court appointed Tamara Rochlina a comprehensive inpatient forensic psychological and psychiatric examination at the Serbian Institute, satisfying the request of the state prosecutor Mikhail Dovgan, who insisted on conducting an examination due to the fact that the suicide was made earlier.

During the meeting on April 22, the defendant became ill, and she was hospitalized. After some time, Rochlina took 40-50 tablets of unknown substance . Since then, the process has constantly been postponed for various reasons.

The last time he was postponed due to the fact that the representative of the prosecutor's office again demanded to conduct a new psychological and psychiatric examination. Specialists of the Serbian Institute recognized the defendant to be sane.

Rokhlin on April 7, 2005 won the case against Russia in the European Court of Human Rights. In the lawsuit, the widow complained for the excessive period of preliminary imprisonment, as well as an overly protracted period of the trial in Russia. The European Court admitted that Rokhlina’s rights to a fair court were violated on a reasonable time ”and ordered the Russian authorities to pay her compensation for the moral damage caused. On November 1, the European Court confirmed the legality of its decision, rejecting the protest of the representative of Russia Pavel Laptev.

In the decision, the court noted that "any preliminary conclusion system is automatically incompatible with paragraph 3 of Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights", which is the right to be convicted in reasonable terms and remain at large during the process.

Preliminary conclusion is an exceptional measure of restriction of the right to freedom and can be applied only in strictly defined cases, the court decision said. However, in the Rochlin case, the European court did not find “sufficient justifications” for its detention for a long time.

In addition, the court found that the length of the trial in Russia, which is more than six years, is a violation of paragraph 1 of Article 6 of the Convention (the right to a fair process in a reasonable time). Having recognized these violations from Russia, the court decided to pay Rochlina compensation for moral damage in the amount of eight thousand euros. However, the Russian side announced the intention to protest this decision in the Grand Chamber of the Strasbourg Court.
