The court extended the house arrest of the director of the library of Ukrainian literature Sharina

The Presnensky district court of Moscow extended until July 29 the house arrest of the director of the library of Ukrainian literature Natalia Sharina. This was reported to the "faces" from the courtroom by human rights activist Elena Sannikova.

Two meetings in a row took place. On the first, the court was extended for one day, until April 29, a house arrest of Sharina in the case of extremism. This is the deadline for a preventive measure under an article of moderate severity.

Immediately after this, at the second meeting, the court extended for 3 months the house arrest of the director of the library in the new criminal case of embezzlement, initiated on March 27.

The defense asked for allowing a ball to allow. There is no balcony in her apartment. Sharina’s health worsened greatly during the house of house arrest, the lawyer noted. However, the investigator and the prosecutor spoke out against, and did not motivate their objections in any way. As a result, the judge refused to allow the ball to allow.

On October 28, 2015 , searches were held in the library of Ukrainian literature and in Sharina’s apartment . The only prohibited publication, which, according to the Investigative Committee, was seized in the library, was the book of Dmitry Korchinsky , Vyne in Tagnpі ("War in the crowd", 1999), which was recognized as extremist in March 2013. At the same time, the library employees argued that there were no this book in the funds - it was precisely by law enforcement officers to be thrown into the library.

Visiters did not find any other forbidden literature. Books about Stepan Bandera, OUN and UPA were withdrawn, although none of these books are listed in the list of extremist materials. The investigators also seized the Barvinov children's journal, stating that it depicts the flag of the Right Sector.

According to the results of the search, Sharin was detained. On October 30, the Tagansky district court of Moscowplaced the detainee under house arrest . In the future, house arrest was extended until April 28 .

Later, the case by Sharina was transferred to the department of the capital's head of the Investigative Committee for the investigation of especially important cases.

On April 5, Sharina was charged under part 4 of Article 160 of the Criminal Code (embezzlement on an especially large amount), which provides for up to 10 years of the colony. According to the TFR, in 2011-2013, when the ball was pursued in the previous case, she spent on her protection the funds intended for the payment of salaries to the library lawyers.

The defender Sharina Ivan Pavlov called the new charge absurd. As the lawyer reminded, in 2013 this case against Sharina was closed behind the lack of corpus delicti. All charges were removed from her, apologized and explained the right to rehabilitation. Pavlov explained that the library lawyers did not have a lawyer status and therefore could not protect the ball on their own. It was the lawyer who paid for the accused by the defendant who paid from her own funds.

“The new accusation is also cynical, since the ball had to turn to the services of a lawyer due to the fact that the Investigative Committee tried to bring her to criminal liability, held two years on a recognizance not to leave, dragged on interrogations, and later it was established that all this was in vain, because there was no corpus delicti in her actions,” Pavlov added.

The meaning of the initiation of a new case, the lawyer continued, is to continue to renew the ball of house arrest. In the fall, she was charged with paragraph "B" of part 2 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code (excitement of hatred or enmity using an official position). The sanction on this charges is up to five years of the colony, and therefore, this composition refers to crimes of moderate severity and pre -trial arrest of the corresponding charges cannot exceed six months.

Now Sharina is accused of a serious crime. “And according to heavy articles, you can keep a person under arrest three times longer. This is exactly what the investigation is needed now,” Pavlov concluded.

On the intention of the investigation, the lawyers reported on a shedding article on embezzlement on March 31 . The second lawyer of the accused, Evgeny Smirnov, explained that he did not receive an official notification of this, and he received information from some of his sources. “Apparently, the investigation cannot prove the accusation of extremism, and therefore they are trying to blame the ball of an economic crime,” the defender noted.
