Without deviating from the instructions

Judge of the Moscow City Court Elena Arychkin refused to transfer to the cassation instance of the criminal case against the leader of the Party of Progress Alexei Navalny and his brother Oleg. Decisions are published on the court website.

The defense of the Navalny brothers demanded to cancel the verdict in the "postal case", referring to numerous violations during the process.

"Contrary to the arguments of the cassation appeal of the defenders, when considering the criminal case, the court of first instance during the trial fully, objectively and comprehensively investigated all the evidence significant for the outcome of the case," the document says.

The “indication of the“ victim ”that there was no damage was not interested in the court again and he was not taken into account,” commented Alexei Navalny's decision of the judge.

On December 30, 2014, the judge of the Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow Elena Korobchenko sentenced Alexei Navalny to 3 and a half years conditionally with a 3 -year trial period, and his brother -to 3 and a half years of the general regime . Each of the defendants was also fined 500 thousand rubles. In addition, they were obliged to pay almost 5 million rubles for civil lawsuits.

Meanwhile, the prosecutor Nadezhda Ignatova demanded for Alexei Navalny a 9 -year general regime (taking into account partial addition to the Cirovles case with a sentence in the case - 10 years), and for Oleg Navalny - 8 years of general regime. However, Korobchenko retrained one of the accusations to the brothers, under Article 159 of the Criminal Code (fraud), to article 159.4 (fraud in the field of entrepreneurial activity). This allowed her to bear a significantly softer sentence.

The prosecutor's office filed an appeal, which was considered on February 17, 2015, simultaneously with the appeal of the convicts. However, the Moscow City Court as a whole confirmed the verdict, and from Alexei Navalny, in addition, removed a 500,000th fine.

On March 3, the city court refused to apply the economic amnesty to Navalny, explaining that they did not compensate for the damage he had imputed.

The next day, Oleg Navalny, Job was served to serve the deadline for the Oryol region .

On May 27, the judge of the Moscow City Court Lyudmila Ampleeva rejected the cassation representation of the deputy prosecutor of the city for the verdict in the "postal case". The official of the supervisory authority insisted that the verdict was “overly soft”, and sought his cancellation and send the case for a new consideration to the court of first instance. Ampleeva, however, stated that the verdict was proportionate to the actions in which the defendants of the case were found, and there are no grounds for their cancellation.
