Judge of the Basmann District Court of Moscow Arthur Karpov arrested for two months, until August 24, the governor of the Kirov region Nikita Belykh, Interfax reports . He is accused of receiving a major bribe.
The court rejected the petition of the governor and his defense, who asked him to let him go on bail or under house arrest in the village near Moscow.
Investigator Roman Mukhachev presented to the court the results of operational-search measures, according to which the white-halkhobs could put pressure on the course of the investigation. "I ask you to introduce the results of the ORM carried out by the FSB, according to which the whites have a real opportunity to put pressure on the investigation and witnesses," said the representative of the TFR. He also added that the whites have the opportunity to "hide from the investigation authorities, destroy documents, and also to prevent the proceedings on the case." The investigator did not clarify what specific facts are in question.
At the same time, Mukhachev said that during the interrogation of the White did not deny the receipt of money. The governor said they were intended for the needs of the city of Kirov.
Belykh stated that he was not going to hide from the investigation. “I had no plans to put pressure on the investigation and hide,” he said.
Belys denies his guilt in bribery. “I gave all the explanations to investigators. I emphasize once again that I’m ready to interact with the investigation, my word is ready to confirm with facts, the investigation should not have any doubts that I was ready to cooperate,” the governor said. “I didn’t take any bribes, I don’t take exceptions for Germany. I’m not going to do any criminal activity and I’m not going to conduct any criminal activities.”
Belykh’s lawyer Vadim Prokhorov asked to postpone the meeting so that the defense of the whites could collect the materials characterizing the governor. The court refused to satisfy this petition.
“Most likely, the luminous paint in the hands of the whites was after he greeted the man who brought a package of money by his hand. But he did not pick up white money. We believe that it was a provocation,” said lawyer Sergei Teterin at a court meeting. At the same time, the defender did not deny that the money received was intended for the whites. “It was sponsorship,” he said.
Prokhorov said that the arrest of the whites would be appealed.
The day before, the whites were taken to court. There the governor announced his innocence. However, the documents had not yet been received by the court. The white night spent in a temporary detention center.
On Saturday morning, the TFR press service reported that the White was charged with part 6 of Article 290 (receiving a bribe on an especially large amount), which provides for a punishment in the form of 15 years in prison. “At present, the investigative actions in the criminal case are ongoing,” the report said. “Searches have already been conducted in the administration of the Kirov region, and in the near future investigators will apply to the court with a petition for the election of a preventive measure in the form of detention in the form of detention.”
On Saturday, the leader of the Party of Progress, Alexei Navalny, wrote that he did not experience white “warm feelings”, after the case of Kirovles, but “with great surprise” looks at his detention.
“The last time we talked with him in 2010. You know, I don’t feel any friendly, friendly and any other warm feelings after Kirovles’s case,” Navalny wrote. “Nevertheless, everything that I know about Belykh makes me look at his yesterday’s detention. I am not familiar with any of the people whose names are mentioned and reasonable to me purely, but I am purely theoretically, but I am purely It is extremely difficult to imagine a bribe in cash like this.
Vladimir Putin is informed of the detention of the whites, but the law enforcement agencies did not hold advice in advance, said Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov. "The president was reported about this detention, naturally. Law enforcement agencies and investigating authorities work independently, so there is no question of some consultations in advance," Peskov said.
Answering the question of whether the Kirov governor will be dismissed, Peskov said: “The decision will make the president at what point to delay from office, I can’t announce such a decision, because this is his decision. In general, one can say one thing: the investigation is investigating, the prosecution is accused, and the defense protects. And everyone has the corresponding rights - before the court’s decision cannot be guilty of anything.”
