Farber's defense appealed the verdict
The defense of Ilya Farber, the former director of the Culture House "Gratsky" in the Tver region convicted of a bribe, appealed the verdict in the Tver regional court, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the lawyer Elena Romanov.
“We have three complaints. Ilya asks him to justify him, I ask you to terminate the criminal prosecution against him, and the other lawyer tells the prosecutor’s case due to the impossibility of consideration - we believe that Ilya’s right was violated,” Romanova said.
The first conviction to Farber, passed last year, was canceled by the Supreme Court. On August 1, the Ostashkovsky City Court of the Tver Region, following the results of a repeated process, found Farber guilty of articles on bribery and abuse of powers and sentenced to seven years and one month of the colony. In addition to imprisonment, it is sentenced to a fine of 3.1 million rubles. Immediately after the sentence, fundraising began to help the Farber family.
