Only one of the Smolensk looters received a real term

The Smolensk garrison military court sentenced the case of looting after the catastrophe of the President of Poland, RIA Novosti reports. Four former military servicemen were found guilty of theft of bank cards and attempted money for theft.

The court sentenced Sergei Syrov to 2 years in prison with a sentence in a general regime colony. He was taken into custody in the courtroom. Igor Pustovar and Yuri Sankov were sentenced to 2 years in prison with a delay in the sentence for 2 years, Arthur Pankratov - to 1.8 years in prison with a suspension of the sentence for 2 years. The state prosecution asked for cheese for three years, and for the rest of the defendants - 2.5 years of real conclusion.

As the court established, the soldiers were directed to the crash site to cordon the territory. Not far from the place of fall, the Tu-154 cheeses discovered a bag where there were bank cards belonging to the deceased Secretary General of the Council for the Protection of Memory, Struggle and Martyrdom of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Pshevyznik. Syrov, who found Pin-Codes, invited the rest of the accused to withdraw funds from the cards. In connection with the established limit of cash withdrawal, they managed to get 59 thousand rubles.

Court meetings on the merits of the case began on August 27. The defendants pleaded guilty , said they repented, and apologized to the relatives of the deceased. Back in January, the stolen funds were returned by transferring $ 2107 to the Ceezer's relatives.

The widow of Pshevik, Joland, sent a letter with a civil lawsuit against the accused. “We are waiting for official apologies in writing by the state authorities of the Russian Federation, responsible for monitoring the accused military personnel, the return of documents belonging to the husband, the return of funds with the interest due to the interest and the award of 10 thousand Polish zlotys as a material compensation for non -pecuniary damage and the transfer of Memorial to the Society,” the document said.

Relatives of Pshvyznik did not come to Smolensk, the victim was represented by Teresa Baranovskaya, a member of the Council for the Protection of Memory, Struggle and Martyrdom of the Republic of Poland. "Like every victim I am waiting for justice, I am waiting for the guilty to receive punishment and this punishment was fair," she told reporters.

The case was referred to the court on December 29, 2012. All four were accused of committing crimes under P.P. "A", "in" Part 2 of Art. 158 (theft committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, with causing significant damage to the citizen), part 3 of Art. 30, p. "B" part 3 of Art. 158 of the Criminal Code (attempt on the theft of someone else's property committed on a large scale).

An additional scandalous was given the fact that all the defendants, except for the Pustovar, were previously convicted. Cheese - for robbery, Sankov - for theft, pankratov - for counterfeiting. They did not take the accused under the arrest, transferring them to the supervision of the command of the unit. In anticipation of the consideration of the case, the soldiers served military service, demobilized and were under subscriptions about the lower place of residence in their place of residence - in the Moscow, Kursk and Smolensk regions.
