The collegium of the Supreme Court restored the appeal of the sentence to the defendant of the “spy” case Oksana Sevastidi, recently freed from the imprisonment after pardon by Vladimir Putin, but refused to justify it. This was reported by the correspondent of "faces" from the courtroom. The judges limited themselves to reducing Sevastidi the deadline appointed by the verdict from seven to three years of general regime.

The hearings were closed from the public and the press, since the case has the Grif "Top Secret".

Whether the lawyers of the “team 29” intended, Ivan Pavlov and Evgeny Smirnov, to further appeal the verdict.

Sevastidi's case in the Supreme Court

The last time before the release, lawyers talked with their client at a meeting of the Supreme Court on February 15. Then the judges at the request of the prosecutor postponed the hearing. The prosecutor referred to the fact that it was necessary to wait for the decision of the Kuban lawyer, which opened disciplinary proceedings against Ruslan Zurnadzhyan, who represented Sevastidi's interests for their appointment during the proceedings in the court of first instance, and came to the conclusion that he defended the accused inappropriately. “The decision on the transfer immediately seemed suspicious to us,” Pavlov remarked. “Back in January (that is, shortly after Putin on December 23, the statement that Sosstidi’s sentence is unreasonably harsh. - Ed.) The Krasnodar Regional Court had an onwarm to transfer the case to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court was surprisingly quickly appointed to the nearest date. For three days, Moscow is usually in such a route, and this rush has forced many unreasonably assuming that the issue was resolved: Oksana will be released from the custody in the courtroom, but something went wrong on February 15. ”

As it turned out after the release of Sevastidi, immediately after the return of February 15 from the Supreme Court to the Lefortovo pre -trial detention center, the prisoner was called to the chief of the isolator Alexei Romashin. There, in addition to the boss himself, there were three more fsinists. Romashin told Sevastidi that Putin promised to figure out the case, so she should write a petition for pardon. “After that,” Pavlov concluded, “the boss dictated an appeal in the text of which Oksana once again had to admit guilt, repent and rely on the mercy of high officials. Under his dictation, Oksana wrote an appeal.”

Pavlov emphasized that Romashin gave the prisoner legal advice, knowing significantly that she had lawyers, and communicated with her not only in the absence, but also without the knowledge of the defenders. “Yes, and the situation clearly did not have to think about the consequences of certain steps,” the lawyer continued. “Was the petition written under pressure? Nobody exerted physical pressure on Oksana, but the pressure is not only physical.”

At the same time, the lawyer expressed confidence that the confession of Sevastidi guilty in the petition for pardon would not prevent her to achieve a complete excuse.

Sevastidi is 47 years old, she is a resident of Sochi. She worked as a saleswoman in a bread store. Sochka was charged with article 275 of the Criminal Code (state treason), for the fact that in 2008, shortly before the aggression of Russia against Georgia, she wrote to a familiar to the Settlement of Settlement that she saw a train with military equipment from the window of the minibus, which was going towards unrecognized Abkhazia.

Sevastidi’s verdict was issued on March 4, 2016 by the judge of the Krasnodar Chrysud Vladimir Kobzev. At the same time, the media information about the case was only on December 1 .

The case of Zakka caused a resonance in society. Then Pavlov and Smirnov took up the defense of the prisoner.

The decree on the pardon of Sevastidi Putin signed on March 7 . On Sunday, the 12th, the prisoner was released from Lefortov .

On February 22, the Council of the Kuban lawyer chamber issued Zurnadzhyan a warning for improper defense of Sevastidi. Meanwhile, the maximum sanction that threatened him was a deprivation of status. The Council of the Russian Bar Chamber of the Moscow Bar to Andrei Stebenev , who was found guilty of improper protection, the defendant of another “spy” case - Svetlana Davydova, used this measure in April 2015.
