The Russian Lawyer Chamber of Moscow aroused disciplinary proceedings against Andrei Stebenev, former defender Svetlana Davydova, who provided her with the FSB. This was reported in his blog on the website of "Echo of Moscow" President of the chamber lawyer Henry Reznik. Colleagues accuse Stebenev of improperly providing legal assistance.
Now Stebenev will be supposed to respond to the council and the qualification commission of the lawyer chamber on a number of questions. Colleagues want to find out why he did not apply for a meeting of the meeting at the court of the choice of Davydov’s measure to receive documents on the presence of seven minor children in the detained. Lawyers are also interested in why Stebenev did not appeal the arrest and missed the deadline for filing an appeal.
Further, the former defender Davydova is going to find out why he commented on the press from the perspective of the investigation. Finally, Stebenev will be forced to explain why he was going to meet with Davydova to clarify her position in the case only 10 days after the arrest, while he had to do this before the prosecution and the first interrogation.
“Article 8 of the Code of Professional Ethics of a lawyer obliges the latter to fulfill his duties“ honestly, reasonably, conscientiously, qualified, fundamentally and timely ”, and Article 10 establishes that the duties of a lawyer who protects the investigation and court authorities do not differ from the duties of the defender under the agreement,” the Reznik noted.
Davydova was detained on January 21, and the next day, the judge of the Lefortovo District Court of Moscow Elena Galikhanova arrested her. Meanwhile, the press fell only on January 29. On the same day, Stebenev stated that he did not consider the accusation presented by his client completely unreasonable . “There are information there, there are facts, there are grounds,” he assured.
Then the defender said that he would not appeal the arrest of Davydova , citing the fact that she allegedly asked him about this. Meanwhile, the next day it turned out that Stebenev promised to appeal the arrest .
On February 2, Davydovarefused the services of Stebenev . Instead, her interests began to be represented by Petersburger Ivan Pavlov and Moskvich Sergey Badamshin. The first thing they did was submitted to the Lefortovo District Court a request to restore the missed deadlines for the arrest. On Thursday, Badamshin wrote on Twitter that this petition was satisfied.
Meanwhile, the campaign unfolded on the Internet in defense of Davydova. On the afternoon of February 3, the Presidential Administration was submitted by a petition to Vladimir Putin with a request to free the arrested from the pre -trial detention center. At that time, 47 thousand people signed the paper. That evening, Davydov was released on a recognizance not to leave .
