Why was Leonid Razvozzhaev transported?
The topic of transferring oppositionist Leonid Razvozzhaev to Siberia (as part of the investigation of a criminal case about the robbery of an Angarsk businessman in 1997) continues to be discussed in the media. Neither his relatives nor his lawyers have information about his current location. It got to the point that news appeared in LiveJournal (at the level of rumors) that Razvozzhaev was no longer alive.
Meanwhile, Angarsk lawyers expressed their readiness to help Leonid Razvozzhaev when he arrives in Irkutsk or Angarsk. The President of the Angarsk City Collegium, lawyer Vyacheslav Ivanets, is personally acquainted with Leonid and says that the case of oppositionist Razvozzhaev is politically biased, that in principle there can be no verdict on it, and it will end with a termination decision.
“It is appropriate to talk about the not very good practice that exists in law enforcement agencies: forming cases according to the so-called “catch-up” principle. This is when one composition is not enough for a person, as investigators usually say, to “close”, or to decide which -then other tasks that the investigation faces begin to invent, or raise, or remember some other cases, some other materials that are formed according to the principle “to the heap”. Subsequently, as sad as it sounds, the courts. , citing the fact that there is not one criminal case, not one offense, but several crimes at once, they end up imposing an additional sentence, including one associated with imprisonment, only because there were several offenses, and not just one. if several lighter offenses are added up, it turns out that a punishment can be imposed involving imprisonment. But in my understanding, as a public person, as a person who most likely supports the opposition, I believe that in politics I am quite oppositional. behave, I have a feeling that this criminal case is part of a campaign to discredit the opposition movement as such,” said Vyacheslav Ivanets.
According to Vyacheslav Ivanets, the very fact of Leonid Razvozzhaev’s transfer is largely due to the need to remove him from Moscow further to Siberia in order to solve some other problems “hardly related to the investigation.”
