There is no advance

Judge of the Kirov Regional Court Mikhail Obukhov left an re -accusatory sentence to the conditional terms, issued by the leader of the Party of Progress Alexei Navalny and businessman Peter Officer in the Kirovles case. This is reported by Interfax.

The appeal of the verdict was filed by lawyers of convicts Olga Mikhailov, Vadim Kobzev and Svetlana Davydova. Navalny themselves and the officers did not appear at the court hearing, their interests were represented by Kobzev and Davydov.

The sentence entered into force. Thus, Navalny lost the right to nominate the presidential election. According to Article 5.2 of the Law "On Presidential Election", it is impossible to participate in the election campaign with an incomprehensible criminal record for a serious or particularly serious crime, as well as within 10 years after its withdrawal or repayment. The composition of part 4 of Article 160 of the Criminal Code (embezzlement of other people's property on an especially large scale), incriminated to Navalny and Officer through part 3 of Article 33 (organization), belongs to the category of heavy, since on this charge, the Code provides for a term of up to 10 years of the colony.

As the lawyer Kobzev said , after studying the appeal determination, a complaint in the ECHR will be filed. “First of all, we will sue the European court (by human rights. - Ed.), But the Supreme is not required,” the lawyer said.

The politician himself has not yet commented on the court decision. The head of the Electoral Staff of Navalny Leonid Volkov announced his intention to continue the election campaign. “Navalny’s presidential campaign, of course, did not depend on the“ case ”of the Kirovles case in any way,” Volkov wrote on Twitter. “We are conducting a campaign to achieve the registration of Alexei Navalny as a presidential candidate, and we will achieve this.”

On February 8, the judge of the Leninsky District Court Kirov Alexei Vtyurin sentenced Navalny to five, and officer - by four years conditionally . In addition, fines in the amount of 500 thousand rubles were assigned to each convict. They have already paid these fines after the first sentence in the case.

In February 2016, the ECHR admitted that the first process in the case of Kirovles was in violation of the rights of the defendants to a fair trial. In connection with this decision on November 16 of the same year , the Presidium of the Supreme Court abolished the sentence and sent the case for re -consideration to the Leninsky district court of Kirov. However, Judge Vthurin duplicated the previous sentence.
