Irek Murtazin: “A mockery of justice”

“Timofeev was caught red-handed while receiving a bribe. But Timofeev is his own guy, the leader of the district, the head of the district administration. And when he received the bribe, in his pocket, near his heart, he had a United Russia party card. Well, how can you imprison someone like that? So they don’t imprison you. First, he was sentenced to a fine of 300 million. He paid 600 thousand and doesn’t want to pay any more, although he says he can’t. They decided to send Timofeev to the zone, but he was sick, and our court is humane, he can’t handle a sick person. accustomed to hazel grouse and pineapples, send him to prison gruel. So, he didn’t recover. In general, the Tatarstan Themis gave a clear signal to the swindlers and thieves: don’t be a fool, guys, steal, take bribes, cut the budget, protect the merchants, ruin their businesses, and if you get caught. ... Of course, we’ll shake our nerves a little, but we won’t jail him.”
