Prosecutor Grin - Sergey Magnitsky
The New Times had a resolution of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, allowing the posthumous court
On March 11, in the Tver court, a trial was supposed to begin on the head of Hermitage Capital William Brower, living in the UK, and lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died in the Sailor Silence pre -trial detention center on November 16, 2009. Brauder and Magnitsky are accused of non -payment of taxes. Dozens of Russian and foreign journalists hardly fit in a small courtroom. Photographers filmed an empty cage for the accused. For obvious reasons, they were not there. Browner is in the UK. Magnitsky in November 2009 was buried in the Preobrazhensky cemetery. When the judge went into the process, it became clear: not only the defendants lacking. There are no lawyers. As you know, the relatives of Sergei Magnitsky and their lawyers long before the process began to participate in him, considering him "blasphemy and abuse of the memory of the deceased." Then the Tver court appointed to Brower and Magnitsky state lawyers, but on March 11 they did not appear at the meeting. The official reason: they did not have time to get acquainted with all the materials of the case, which are 60 volumes.
The New Times publishes the resolution of the Deputy Prosecutor General Viktor Grin, who, contrary to the will of relatives of the deceased Magnitsky, allowed the investigation terminated after his death. According to the judge of the Constitutional Court of retired Tamara Morshchakova, this decision contradicts the decision of the Constitutional Court, which allowed to carry out posthumous processes only upon the application of relatives to rehabilitate the honest name of the accused.
