In Petrozavodsk they want to open a criminal case against a participant in a rally against corruption
Law enforcement agencies are trying to open a criminal case against arbitration manager Evgeny Vladenkov, who participated in the anti-corruption rally on March 26 in Petrozavodsk on Kirov Square. About this in the April 12 edition of Blueberry.
33-year-old Vladenkov was detained immediately after the rally, allegedly for an administrative offense; a report was drawn up against him under Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Administrative Code (Disobedience to a lawful order of a police officer). On March 27, the Petrozavodsk City Court filed a police case, since the protocol was drawn up by unauthorized persons.
returned However, upon leaving the court, Vladenkov was again detained, and a protocol was probably drawn up against him again under the same article of the Code of Administrative Offences. On March 28, the court again dealt with the police for the same reasons.
returned Now we are talking about a criminal case - about the alleged use of violence against the police, so law enforcement officers are trying to punish him for trying to prevent illegal arrests, Vladenkov believes.
“As far as I understand, they are trying to charge me with Part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (use of violence against a government official). In order to fabricate the case, there is a report from police major Pavel Vladimirovich Gruznev that I allegedly struck a man in uniform, although there was no blow. [It’s just] that in order to have a composition, you need a blow, a bite, violence. As I understand it, Major Gruznev made the conclusion that a blow was struck after watching a video that is publicly available on YouTube. The materials of the inspection, as far as I know, have been transferred to the Investigative Committee. Now I’m waiting for a reaction from the Investigative Committee - a summons,” says Vladenkov.
318-oh-some-to-something, etc. According to him, the video in question shows his attempt to release the illegally detained Artem Kornyshov, after which Vladenkov himself was detained.
“There were no blows. All this can be confirmed by [eyewitnesses], and the video itself confirms this,” he says.
A rally against corruption took place in Petrozavodsk on March 26, after which the police detained six people. Almost all of them were soon released without drawing up protocols, with the exception of Evgeniy Vladenkov. Also, after the rally, law enforcement officers tried to bring the organizer of the action, Vitaly Fleganov, to administrative responsibility, and unknown people kidnapped him.
