The FSB in the Krasnodar Territory dismissed the case of insulting Vladimir Putin, open against the activist of the United Communist Party Daria Polyudova, for the lack of corpus delicti. Thiswas announced on Saturday by the lawyer of the activist Andrei Sabinin.
“We will not see the victim during interrogation,” the lawyer remarked. Since Article 319 of the Criminal Code (insulting a representative of the authorities), imputed by Polyudov, necessarily implies the presence of a victim, Sabinin sought a confrontation of Polyudova with Putin.
The initiation against Polyudova’s case under the 319th article became known on June 26 . The activist was persecuted for repost from the VK group Putin - Huylo in a square . Polyudova clarified that she only once reposted the message from this group - in early August 2014. She placed Putin’s photo accompanied by the text: “Putin, you fucked up the oligarchs with your friends. We, free Russian citizens, tell you: go to the dick. Who wants to send Putin to the dick - put like here. If you are against the Russian government - then come here. The re -Post is welcome!”.
During the interrogation of the senior investigator of the regional UFSB in particularly important cases of Lieutenant Colonel of Justice Dmitry Shapovalov, the activist refused to testify in the case, citing Article 51 of the Constitution.
Earlier, against Polyudova, the case was opened in parts 1 and 2 of Article 280 (public calls for extremism and the same actions using the Internet) and part 280.1 of the Criminal Code (public calls for separatism via the Internet). The sanction of part 1 of Article 280 - up to 4 years in the colony, the sanction of parts of 2 articles 280 and 280.1 - up to 5 years. The activist for half a year-from August 2014 to February 2015-spent in a pre-trial detention center-5 in Krasnodar, unofficially controlled by the FSB. She was released in connection with the expiration of the maximum permissible period of pre -trial arrest of imputed charges. Since then, Polyudov has been subjected to administrative arrest three times; The last time is this week , and now the activist is in a special reception. In addition, the FSB achieved Polyudov’s dismissal from work and further prevented her of employment.
Shapovalov repeatedly reported the end of the investigation in the Polyudova case. However, each time the investigation under various pretexts resumed. Sabinin noted that on Saturday, after the materials were excluded from the case under the 319th article, he got acquainted with him for the fourth time.
