It's funny to everyone, including the judge

The court demanded that Navalny and officers remain in Kirov until February 10. Navalny does not care

On February 1, judge Alexei Vtyurin, revising the case of Kirovles, banned politics to Alexei Navalny and businessman Peter Officer to leave Kirov. The court chose in their regard a measure of restraint in the form of a non -departure subscription. The defendants refused to sign this paper. Navalny is clearly not going to execute this decision. The story with a preventive measure was a surprise not only for the side of protection, but also for prosecutors; Vtyurin himself was its initiator. On the eve of the prosecutor’s request, the judge issued a decision to bring Navalny to the courtroom, after which the bailiffs came to the policy of the politician - they eventually went with the politician to Kirov. The Medusa correspondent Sasha Sulim talks about the next amazing court session on Kirovles.

Alexei Navalny went into the courtroom at exactly nine in the morning and loudly wished the reporters good morning. Following the politician, his lawyer Olga Mikhailova, entrepreneur Peter Officers and his defender Svetlana Davydova took their places. The state prosecutors Sergey Bogdanov and Evgeny Cheremisinov were already in the hall - they sat motionless, like the indispensable decorations of the second process in the Kirovles case.

The judge appeared after 20 minutes; His secretary announced that the defendants were brought to the court, and the reason why today there is no one of the lawyers of Navalny Vadim Kobzev is unknown.

Navalny and Davydov said that they did not deliver anyone to the court. " “I bought a ticket and came to Kirov myself,” Navalny explained. Later, the press secretary of the politician Kira Yarmysh told reporters: the bailiffs really flew to Kirov with the same flight as Navalny, and in the morning they went with him by taxi to the court building (about how the “delivery” of the opposition policy was carried out to Kirov, read here ).

Navalny’s lawyer Olga Mikhailova reminded the court that she had already warned the impossibility of attending her meeting of her colleague Vadim Kobzev - on February 1, he was busy in another process. Mikhailova also stated that she should not have been present in Kirov, since she was one of the lawyers in the murder of the politician Boris Nemtsov-the meeting on this process was scheduled for February 1, but he was postponed due to a sudden disease of one of the jury (the revision of the Kirovles case occurs at an abnormal speed ).

Davydova, explaining the absence of his client officer at a meeting on January 27 and 30, provided the court with documents on the reasons for his failure to appear: he was called an ambulance, an entrepreneur was hospitalized. However, on January 31, officers were hastily discharged from the hospital for an unknown reason. Davydova also warned the court that if the officer became bad, the meeting would have to be interrupted.

Davydova herself also applied for medical help, and the doctors wrote to her sick leave until February 2 (copies of consulting a cardiologist and therapist were provided to the court). In addition, the lawyer asked the court to show her a letter to the chief of IK-18 in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug: it contains the client Davydova, she had to go to the colony this week, but postponed the trip due to the suddenly declared quarantine. “I do not think that the head of the colony would notify me on my own initiative that they announced a quarantine in the colony,” the lawyer added.

Before the prosecution, the prosecution began to present its evidence, Alexei Navalny addressed the judge. “I don’t understand why you endure this interference in justice,” the politician noted. He added that the cancellation and transfer of lawyers, quarantine and illegal extract from the hospital indicate that someone is conducting the process. The politician asked Judge Alexei Vthirin to tell people who interfere in the process that "Navalny and officers are unhappy with these measures - and that one day they will all be investigated."

After Navalny’s performance, the word passed to the side of the prosecution. The prosecutors presented several petitions, but to hear what exactly they touched, it was difficult to. Despite the nasty acoustics of the hall, the judge and prosecutors carefully ignored microphones (unlike the side of protection).

One of the petitions of the prosecutor's office concerned the introduction to the case of documents on the criminal record of Navalny in the case of Yves Rocher and his prosecution. To the question of the politician, what these documents prove, the prosecutor Bogdanov said:

- Not proves anything. Characterizes.

“The fact that the Russian court judges me is characterizing me from the positive side,” Navalny said to this.

He and his lawyer Mikhailov explained to the court that on February 2, the European Court of Human Rights should make a decision on seven complaints of a politician; In addition, in the near future the verdict of the Strasbourg Court and in the case of Yves Rocher will become known. “If you take into account the verdict in this process by Iv Rocher, and then it will be canceled, a conflict will happen,” Mikhailov’s lawyer warned. Pouring over the CPC for several minutes, the judge decided to introduce the documents to the case.

Around the same time, Peter Officers wrote on Facebook: “This season, Kirovles has never been so many cameras and press. Behind the back you can directly hear, “like film cameras massively shake the film.” And prosecutors, as usual, do not comply with the Code of Criminal Procedure, even in the procedural plan. ” Alexei Navalny led the direct broadcast of the process on his twitter (as usual, being distracted on extraneous topics ).

It was assumed that at the meeting on February 1, the defendants will testify, which should become evidence of the side of protection. Before that, the lawyers Mikhailov and Davydov presented several petitions. One way or another, they concerned the exclusion from the materials of the case of wiretapping Navalny and Officer (according to the protection, they were illegally received), as well as a comprehensive psychological linguistic examination (lawyers insist that it is compiled with procedural disorders). The court rejected all the defense petitions.

During a break for lunch, Navalny told reporters that the process of the process completely repeats the first “Kirovles”: “All this is done to prevent my election campaign.” A foreign crew asked Navalny to comment in English, the politician proposed to record it separately, otherwise the “Russia” channel ( his employees attended the courtroom in the morning - approx. Medusa ) will say that this is a betrayal on my part. ”

After lunch, the judge often retired to the deliberation room. After a hour and a half absence of a judge Vtyurin, Navalny joked: "We see you so little today." In response to this, the court initiated the issue of choosing a preventive measure to Navalny and Officer - since they did not appear at two meetings. The judge’s proposal was a surprise not only for the side of protection, but also for prosecutors. They literally did not know how to react, and asked for 15 minutes to “discuss”.

The judge stated that he made a request to the hotel in which Navalny and officers live - regarding the terms of their stay at the hotel. Navalny’s reservation for one day, Officer's reservation - until February 3. “Once such a correspondence with the hotel has gone, tell them that I waited for my cheesecakes in the morning for 40 minutes,” Navalny cut.

Having come to their senses after the “discussion”, the prosecutors nevertheless supported the initiative of the court to choose a preventive measure in the form of a non -place of not receiving - but they left the decision on the place of stay and the validity of the subscription to the discretion of the court.

Lawyers asked to postpone the decision and send requests to the airline and Russian Railways to make sure that Navalny and officers do not plan to leave Kirov in the coming days. Officer’s defender also asked to send a request to one of the Moscow hospitals in order to receive evidence of the “good reason for the failure to appear” of her client. The judge rejected the petition and invited the defense to speak about the “initiative” to choose a preventive measure.

Navalny said that he did not understand what exactly they should speak out about, since the Judge Vthurin did not indicate either the terms or the city in which the accused should be on the unsuccess. “Even at the first meeting, such a question did not arise,” the politician recalled and added: “We arrived to finish the court.” He said that in any case, he was not going to leave the city until Friday, February 3, and also recalled the right of the defendant and his relatives for personal life: the family and work of both defendants in Moscow. “I will not give a recognizance not to leave, but I will notify the court that I intend to come to all meetings,” Navalny said. The lawyer of Mikhailova indicated to the judge that the election of a preventive measure needs grounds that were never voiced by the judge.

(In 2010, President Dmitry Medvedev expanded the list of minor crimes according to which the preventive measure in the form of detention was abolished-this list includes the article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which is judged by Navalny and Officer. Even if the politician refuses to fulfill the court decision, Vtyurin will not be able to appoint a different preventive measure for the 160th. However, the resistance of the appointed extent may be suppressed by prevention. regarded by the court as a violation of another article regarding the failure to fulfill the courts of the court, - Art.

“Officer has young children, and I have the headquarters of the election campaign on Saturday in St. Petersburg-I don’t know what requires more time: children or headquarters,” Navalny continued to ironize.

An hour later, Vtyurin announced the decision: Navalny and Officer is forbidden to leave Kirov from February 1 to 10, and the court recognized the Hilton Garden Tin Kirov hotel with their temporary “place of residence”.

“Have you watched the film“ Moscow does not believe in tears ”? - Navalny turned to the judge. “So, I’m in that film: I respect, but I won’t drink.” The politician refused to sign the receipt, the lawyers added that they would appeal the court decision. The protection side asked who would pay the stay of the defendants in a rather expensive hotel; Navalny asked if it was possible to use a mini-bar.

Vtyurin met the mocking remarks with laughter-it seems that he especially liked the joke about the mini-bar.

At the exit from the hall, Navalny told reporters that what was happening "once again proves that the whole process is associated with the election campaign." “We publicly announced the opening schedule of headquarters: on Saturday I had to open the first headquarters in St. Petersburg-and immediately the judge came out with the initiative to subscribe to the wizard.” According to the politician, this is done so that he can not travel through the regions. However, he added Navalny, he considers the court decision illegal and is not going to observe it.

The next court session will begin at nine in the morning on February 2. On Saturday, February 4, Alexei Navalny is going to open his election headquarters in St. Petersburg.
