Oleg Navalny is transferred to the Oryol region

Oleg Navalny, the younger brother of the leader of the progress of Alexei Navalny, sentenced to 3 and a half years of the general regime in the "postal case", is transferred to one of the colonies of the Oryol region. This was reported by "Mediazona" with reference to Kirill Polozov, a convicted lawyer.

Navalny Jr. was sent to the stage from the capital's pre-trial detention center “Butyrka” at 7 in the morning of Wednesday, the lawyer said. “The exact number and location of the colony will become known when it reaches the place,” he added.

Meanwhile, “Open Russia” transmits with reference to the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Oryol region that the convict is being taken to IK-5, located in the Naryshkino village, the administrative center of the Uritsky district. Naryshkino is located 30 kilometers from the regional center.

The verdict of Navalny’s brothers was sentenced on December 30, 2014, the judge of the Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow Elena Korobchenko . Navalny Sr. received 3 and a half years conditionally, and his brother is the same real term. In addition, each of the convicts was fined in the amount of 500 thousand rubles.

The charge required Alexei Navalny 9 years of general regime (and taking into account the verdict in the Kirovles case - 10 years), for Oleg - 8 years of general regime. The prosecutors argued that the brothers were guilty of part 4 of Article 159 (fraud on an especially large amount committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy and using their official position) and two years under paragraph 3 of Article 174.1 of the Criminal Code (laundering of funds by a group of persons by prior conspiracy).

However, Korobchenko retrained the charge from the 159th article on the less serious 159.4 (fraud in the field of entrepreneurial activity), which was the reason for the appointment of milder punishments.

Both the lawyers of the convicts and the prosecutor's office appealed the verdict. The supervisory authority objected to the re -qualification of the prosecution. However, on February 17, 2015 , the Moscow City Court left the verdict as a whole unchanged , only withdrawing a 500,000th fine from Navalny Sr..

On Tuesday, it became known that the Moscow City Court did not apply to the brothers a bulk economic amnesty, since they did not compensate for the damage he had imputed . Compensation of damage "is a prerequisite for the application of this amnesty act," was emphasized in the appeal ruling of the court in the "postal case".
