The court in Kirov refused to arrest Navalny

Judge of the Leninsky District Court Kirov Sergey Blinov refused to satisfy the request of the prosecutor to arrest the defendant in the Kirovles case, Alexei Navalny, Rapsei reports. The court issued a decision on its forced drive to the next meeting, which will be held on June 17. On the same day, an interrogation of Navalny in the TFR was appointed.

At the same time, the court recognized the reason for the failure to disrespect Navalny. Blinov pointed out that on June 11 he notified the defendant about the sending to the investigator of the Investigative Committee of the letter with a request to cancel the call scheduled on the day of the meeting in the TFR. Navalny really was on interrogation in the TFR from 12:00 Thursday.

Navalny himself previously reported on Twitter that in the TFR he received the agenda, too, on June 17. An hour before the announcement of the decision of the Kirov court, he wrote : "And now the judge Blinov will" appoint "in court what has already been decided in the UK."

Earlier, the prosecutor Sergei Bogdanov demanded to arrest Navalny. "Navalny did not present any information testifying to the good reason for his absence at the hearing," the prosecutor said. Lawyer Svetlana Davydova categorically objected to change in the preventive measure. She stated that Navalny artificially created such hopeless conditions when he was forced to break between investigative actions in Moscow and the court in Kirov. “Previously, we have already stated that such overlays could be due to distance,” the lawyer said.

On Thursday, Navalny for the first time since the beginning of the process in the Kirovles case did not appear at the meeting in his statement in the name of the judge, he explained that on this day he was called in Moscow for interrogation in the TFR. According to Navalny, the non -appeal for interrogation threatens him with a change in the preventive measure from the subscription about the no to leave for more strict.

Navalny also asked the judge to postpone the hearing scheduled for Friday. He explained that on June 14 a meeting of the Moscow City Branch of the RPR-Parnas will be held, at which he will be nominated by a candidate for mayors of Moscow. “This is a good reason for the missing of the meeting. The elections of the Moscow mayor are not very often taking place,” the politician commented on his request on Twitter. In response to this request, Blinov asked the lawyer Sergei Kobelev: "Is there, too, he is changed the measure of restraint?"

Earlier, the next hearings in the Kirovles case were scheduled for June 17 and 18. However, at the last meeting held on Tuesday, the judge transferred them to the 13th and 14th. Navalny stated that this was done intentionally to prevent his nomination to the mayors of the capital.

According to investigators, as an adviser to the governor of the Kirov region, Alexei Navalny organized the theft of the property of this enterprise. He allegedly conspired with the director of the Vyatka forest company Peter Officer and CEO of Kirovles Vyacheslav Opalev. The investigation believes that from May to September 2009 more than 10 thousand cubic meters of forest products were stolen. Thus, the budget of the Kirov region caused damage worth more than 16 million rubles. "Navalny threatens up to 10 years in the colony.

Opalev, who testified against Navalny, has already received four years on this matter conditionally.

Navalny himself calls the matter fabricated and insists on his political background. Before the process, he declared his presidential ambitions.

On June 9, the Bureau of the Federal Political Council of the RPR-Parnas advocated the navigation of a Navalny candidate from his party in the elections of the Moscow Mayor, but the Moscow city organization of the party should be made on this issue. In the event of a nomination by the candidate from the RPR-Parnas Navalny, the "municipal filter" will have to go through the support of 6 percent of the metropolitan municipal deputies.
