The former official of the Russian Ministry of Defense Yevgeny Vasiliev, about whom practically nothing was heard since she was sentenced to five years in May 2015, was again in the spotlight. Firstly, she was allegedly noticed at large; Secondly, she suddenly abandoned the appeal against the verdict. The main question to which there is no answer is where Evgenia Vasiliev is located. Medusa tells the main thing about what is happening with one of the most famous Russian convicts.

Where did Evgenia Vasiliev go

The RAPSI source on July 30 said that Evgenia Vasiliev was noticed in the center of Moscow. According to the agency, she entered the VTB branch on the Patriarchal Ponds (the VTB branch of the VTB is located on the other side of the Garden Ring ). The bank’s branch said that they did not remember such a client.

In July 2013, when Vasilieva was sitting under house arrest, she was also seen at large , but then she was allowed to leave the apartment for three hours a day. This time, Vasilyeva’s lawyer Khasan-Ali Korokov refused to comment on the agency’s message. Where his client is located, he also did not say. At the same time, on the morning of July 31, the FSIN stated that Evgenia Vasiliev is in the “one of the institutions of the department” . The department expressed their readiness to show the prisoner to reporters if she agrees.

The latest information about the whereabouts of Vasilyeva was dated to May 2015. Then it was reported that it was placed in a relatively comfortable camera of the pre -trial detention center in the "printers". In theory, Vasiliev was supposed to remain there, since the verdict had not yet entered into force. Together with the other four defendants in the case of Vasiliev’s case, the court decision and was supposed to wait for the appeal in the insulator.

Nevertheless, a member of the Moscow Public Supervisory Commission Anton Tsvetkov (who usually comes from the perspective of the FSIN), on July 31 announced that Evgeny Vasiliev was transferred "to one of the colonies of the Vladimir region." However, in the only colony where she could be sent theoretically, they refused to confirm that she was there. And in the Moscow City Court they even noted that Vasiliev could not be transferred anywhere, since the verdict had not yet entered into force.

Why did Vasiliev revoke a complaint about the verdict

At the same time, the Moscow City Court said that Vasilyeva’s lawyers recalled their complaint about the verdict without explaining the reasons. However, the journalist of Kommersant Nikolai Sergeyev considers this decision to be obvious , since the sentence in this situation will enter into force rather, and therefore, Vasiliev will be able to rather submit on parole.

Evgeny Vasiliev was placed under house arrest on November 23, 2012. On May 8, 2015, she was sentenced to five years in prison and offered the deadline she spent at home. The law does not clearly spell out in what proportion the house arrest is counted, so it is counted one to one (as well as the deadline for staying in jail).

According to the Russian Criminal Code, you can submit on UDO after half the term. Vasilyeva ended half the deadline on May 24, 2015. At the same time, the Criminal Code notes that "the period of imprisonment served by the convict cannot be less than six months." To be counted from May 8, then six months will end on November 8, 2015.

At the same time, the retired judge Sergei Pashin believes that Vasilieva will not even have to wait six months . “If the court has taken the measure of restraint into it and half has already passed, then the application for parole can be submitted immediately,” he believes, despite the provisions of the Criminal Code.
