The court decided to release the paralyzed Topikhin from the colony

The judge of the Sverdlovsk district court of Kostroma Alla Kudryashova decided to release from IK-1 in the regional center of paralyzed Vladimir Topikhin, who was sentenced to four years of general regime on charges of fraud. This was reported by an open news agency with reference to the lawyer of the convicted person Svetlana Sidorkin.

If the prosecutor's office does not appeal the decision, then after 10 days it will enter into legal force and Topkhin will be released. After that, Sidorkina said, a disabled person will be sent to a specialized clinic for spinal patients.

Meanwhile, the representative of the prosecutor's office during the trial insisted on refusing to release Topokhin.

The IK-1 administration appealed to the court with a petition for the release of the prisoner. After the arrival of Topkhin in the colony, the FSINITS conducted his medical examination, the results of which coincided with the conclusion of the specialists of the Russian Center of Forensic Medical Expertise, examining the prisoner at the request of Sidorkina. Both examinations found that the diagnosis of Topokhin was mentioned in paragraph 24 of the List of Diseases, the presence of which, according to the Decree of Government No. 54 of February 13, 2004, is the basis for exemption from serving the sentence.

Nevertheless, Kudryashova delayed making a decision , asking additional documents at the colony several times.

On January 13, at a visiting meeting in the Moscow pre-trial detention center, the Sailor Silence Judge of the Tver District Court of the capital Tatyana Neverova sentenced Topkhina to six years of general regime under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code (fraud on an especially large scale), and also ordered him to pay 10 million rubles in the civilian claim of the victim. On February 20, the Moscow City Court, having examined the appeal of Sidorkina, reduced Topokhin to four years .

Topikhin is 31 years old, at large he worked as an auditor. The case against him was opened in February 2012, but he was arrested only in July 2013. Shortly before the arrest, Topekhin crashed by car, having received a traumatic brain injury, as well as damage to the spine and internal organs. In the pre -trial detention center, his condition was seriously worsening. The prisoner took the lower body and hand.

On November 20, Topokhin was transferred from the "Butyrki" to the hospital "Sailor's silence." There, thanks to the care, his condition improved slightly. However, on December 4, the patient was placed in the common camera of the SIZO-1. “He lies naked at all, without nothing, under the thorny blanket,” wrote Anna Karetnikova, a member of the metropolitan ONK. “There are no panties and T -shirts on it. The toilet is a hose and a catheter. He did not wash his teeth on his own. He was wiped with a wet towel. This is generally a motionless person.”

Topkhin was taken several times for examination in the 20th city hospital, and each time the doctors did not find grounds for his release.

On December 16, 2013, Sidorkina sent a complaint about the immediate release of Topekhin from custody in connection with the threat of his life and health. In response, the Strasbourg court demanded that Russia urgently provide information about the state of health of the prisoner , the conditions for its detention, as well as the volume of medical care he received. In addition, the ECHR asked Sidorkina a detailed complaint in the Topokhin case.
