The court in Moscow refused to replace the opposition to Alexei Navalny as a conditional sentence for a real term
On Monday, the Lublin court of Moscow did not change the conditional punishment of oppositionist Alexei Navalny for a real term. Earlier, the Federal Penitentiary Service applied to the court with the relevant submission. It believes that Alexei Navalny systematically violates the rules for serving conditional sentences to which he was sentenced to the so -called “Yves Rocher” in December 2014.
"The submission of the cancellation of Navalny to be denied conditional conviction," the court’s decision, announced by the results of the consideration on Monday, the submission of the Criminal Executive Inspectorate of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Moscow says. According to the court, the abolition of conditional conviction is not the obligation, the right of the court, and the replacement is mandatory only when committing a conditionally convicted of a serious or especially serious crime. "Navalny is to register with the frequency established by the verdict of the Zamoskvoretsky court (..
Thank you very much for the support. You are the public opinion that while protecting me from the camera, where the Kremlin dreams of planting me.

Judging by the text of the representation sent to the court, the patience of the Federal Penitentiary Service burst after Alexei Navalny , who was obliged to celebrate twice a month "on the days established by the penal inspection," sent Vadim Kobzev to the inspector of his lawyer. He left a written statement about the impossibility of the appearance of Navalny for registration on the appointed day (July 7), since he is on vacation in Karelia. At the same time, the lawyer promised that as soon as his principal returned to Moscow, he would certainly be noted. Which happened on July 11. But since Navalny did not provide Navalny documents, for a year was late for a year for meetings with the inspector for several days, and now he is still accused of slander , it is no longer possible to leave him at large, according to the branch No. 11 of the FSIN criminal-executive inspection.

“My brave inspectors of the FSIN again came some instructions“ from above ”(they pronounce this word with terrible eyes), and they demand to change my conditional term for real,” wrote Alexei Navalny on his website, receiving a copy sent to the court.
Lawyer Vadim Kobzev before the start of the hearing hoped that Alexei Navalny would remain at large:
- This is not the first petition of the FSIN in which they want to put him under arrest. - They had previously asked the Zamoskvoretsky court to change the home arrest for a pre -trial detention center, and after the verdict in the case of "Yves Rocher" once went to the Lublin court with an idea of replacing a conditional term with a real one. They believe that the passage of the registration period for 5 days, the failure of it on July 7 is a serious violation, which, in their opinion, is a basis for no less than a revision of the procedure for the execution of the court sentence and replacing the conditional term for real departure of the sentence.
Last time, the court in his decision indicated that this ( untimely appearance in the penal inspection for registration. - RS ) is not a sufficient basis to change the conditional punishment for the real one. With the decision, the court, on its own initiative, extended him a trial period for a month. So I do not exclude that this time the trial will also arrive. As a matter of fact, I hope that he will refuse them and, perhaps, take some other measures. Because they have other tools. They can endure warnings. They can ask the court to extend the trial period. They can ask the court to establish an additional obligation. We had all this already in various versions. They already asked for so, and Syak, and as soon as it was. And in this case, they could also do it, but nevertheless, for some reason, they ask to change the conditional punishment for the real one.

- And how do you explain such a persistence of the FSIN in sending Alexei Navalny in jail?
- Their motives are unknown to me, but there are, as it were, two planes, I suppose. One plane is political. We do not know this, but if they are given instructions from the very top, this can be explained by revenge for political activities. And the other plane is bureaucratic. If they do not receive instructions from above, if this is their initiative, then this is an attempt to respond to everything that does Navalny so that later their authorities do not scold for not reacting. Either the authorities told them, or they themselves, afraid of the authorities, react to any sneezing, ”says Vadim Kobzev.

Alexei Navalny himself believes that the FSIN requirement to replace his conditional term with the real one is associated with the upcoming elections and recent investigations of the Corruption Fund, which heads Navalny. He spoke about this, in particular, in his interview with the Rain TV channel. "The fact that we made an investigation on Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov Glutky was noticed, and were annoyed by it and thus trying to answer. Probably, this is connected with the elections ... We certainly say: these elections are not elections, they will not lead to anything. This causes the Kremlin’s extreme irritation, which wants their mystification with Ello Pampilova and with supposedly honest elections, it looks good. Beautifully attracted voters.
In December 2014, the brothers Alexei and Oleg Navalny were convicted of theft of more than 26 million rubles from Yves Rocher and over 4 million rubles from a multidisciplinary processing company, as well as for legalization of more than 21 million rubles. Both were sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison. Alexei Navalny was condemned conditionally. His brother Oleg is serving a sentence in the Oryol region.
In 2015, the Federal Penitentiary Service also asked to change the conditional punishment to Alexei Navalny for the real time due to the violation of the test deadlines in the Kirovles case - in February 2015 Navalny was arrested for 15 days for re -violation of the procedure for holding rallies (distributed campaign leaflets in the Moscow metro). However, the court of the FSIN rejected the court.
