Daniil Konstantinov left Russia

Daniil Konstantinov, who was released last week by the decision of the Chertanovsky court, which sentenced him to three years in prison and immediately granted amnesty, left Russia. This is reported by "Echo of Moscow" according to his father Ilya Konstantinov. The decision to leave Konstantinov and his wife Marina Ionova was made after it became clear to the family that Konstantinov was still under surveillance despite the cessation of criminal prosecution. According to Konstantinov Sr., the family fears revenge from law enforcement agencies.

Konstantinov was arrested in March 2012 and charged with murder. He denied his guilt, pointing out that on the day of the murder he was on the other side of the city, where he celebrated his mother's birthday. The first trial ended with the sending of the case for further investigation. According to the results of the second trial, Konstantinov was found guilty of hooliganism (the court considered it proven that Konstantinov was at the scene of the crime, spat on his jacket and brandished a knife at a man who was then killed in a fight, although, according to the defense, there was no convincing evidence of this by the prosecution did not provide, while his alibi is supported by numerous pieces of evidence). Konstantinov, his defense and relatives are sure that the case was political in nature and appeared in connection with his refusal to cooperate with the special services.
