Putin pardoned three convicts

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees on the pardon of three convicts. The relevant documents are published on the official portal of legal information.

The first pardoned -Valery Gudnikov, born in 1963. In 2007, the employee of the Department of Internal Affairs Gudnikov was convicted under part 4 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm, which entailed the death of the victim by negligence"). The Court of the Khabarovsk Territory sentenced him to 8 years in a strict regime colony. In 2012, the defense of Gudnikov tried to appeal the verdict, but the Irkutsk court did it unchanged.

The second decree applies to a resident of the Krasnodar Territory Anton Anufrienko born in 1982. Anufrienko was accused of fraud and was convicted of part 1 of Article 159.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“providing a bank of obviously false and inaccurate information”).

The third pardoned was 82-year-old Alexander Grudanov, who was sentenced to 6 years in a murder colony for murder. In court, Grudanov fully pleaded guilty.

Gudnikov and Gudanov are exempted from further serving a sentence in the colonies, Anufrienko - from correctional labor.

In early October 2014, Vladimir Putin pardoned the FSB officer Dmitry Maksimov, who in 2012 was found guilty of the murder and sentenced to 11 years in a maximum security colony.
