The court extended the house arrest Evgenia Vasilyeva

The Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow on Friday extended until July 23 the term of home arrest of the main defendant of the Oboronservis case, ex-head of the Department of Property Relations of the Ministry of Defense Yevgenia Vasilieva. This was reported by RAPSI with reference to her lawyer Hassan-Ali Borokov.

"The basis for the extension was an incomprehensible protocol of interrogation of a classified witness. The court decision is illegal, based on rumors and we will certainly be appealed," the lawyer said.

On April 25, President Vladimir Putin, during a “direct line”, explained to the “humanization of legislation” by home arrest Vasilyeva. “In economic crimes, the imprisonment is often considered excessive. People who cannot affect the course of the investigation should not be in the places of imprisonment,” Putin said. “From the fact that someone is sitting, often unfair, and Vasiliev will sit next to them, nothing will change. First of all, it is necessary to look at the fact that she should sit right away. law enforcement agencies. " Putin said that the investigation is the case of Oboronservice is undergoing objectively and will be brought to the end.

On April 24, the Moscow City Court recognized the extension of house arrest Vasilyeva as legitimate. Thus, the Moscow City Court defended the complaints of four lawyers Vasilyeva against the decision of the Khamovniki court on the extension of her house arrest until May 23.

From the complaint that the lawyers filed, it followed that the court of first instance unreasonably satisfied the application of the investigation to extend the term of house arrest and did not take into account the arguments of Vasilyeva’s defense. The lawyers at the meeting noted that the Khamovnican Court "took the courage to extend the term of home arrest of Vasilyeva in the absence of a decision on the extension of the investigation." They also asked to set a specific time for Vasilyeva walks. “Three hours are a minimum enough time,” said Korokov.

On March 20, at a meeting of the Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow, a representative of the investigation said that Vasilieva continues to engage in unlawful actions. "Vasilieva still controls the actions of his subordinates, some of them are hidden from the investigation, being free, Vasiliev may prevent the proceedings on the case," the investigator said. He noted that there is no reason to change the Vasilyeva preventive measure to a softer.

Vasilieva objected to her extension of her house arrest and announced her innocence. The court extended her arrest, but at the request of lawyers, he allowed the accused to walk one hour a day with a mandatory notification of the investigator.

Vasilyeva is charged with three crimes under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code (fraud on an especially large scale). At the end of January, it became known that she could be accused of another fraud, as well as of abuse of powers (article 201 of the Criminal Code). The former head of the property department of the Ministry of Defense does not admit his guilt. She is under house arrest in her own multi -room apartment in Milk Lane in the center of Moscow. Referring to Article 51 of the Constitution, Vasilieva refuses to testify.
