The deputy chairman of the Majlis of the Crimean Tatar people Ilmi Umarov at the hearings on the merits of their craftsmanship, which opened in the Simferopol District Sour of the annexed Crimea, accused the FSB, which led the investigation, for a forgery. This was reported on her FB page, the daughter of politician Aisha Umarova.
The prosecutor Oleg Sarginov, in indictment, quoted the Russian translation of phrases from the television set of Umarov, presenting them as a transcript of the politician's speech. The deputy chairman of the Mejlis objected that the text performed by the translator could not be called a transcript, which means that the investigation made a gross violation. In addition, the politician added, the decoding of the original text in the Crimean Tatar language is generally absent.
As Aisha Umarova noted, the prosecutor of Sarginov, before the annexation of Crimea, worked in the prosecutor's office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in Saki and Dzhankoy, and after the occupation of the peninsula, he violated the oath and moved to the Russian prosecutor's office. The chairman in the process Andrei Kulishov was also previously a Ukrainian judge. According to the “peacekeeper”, the case against Kulishov is opened against Kulishov under part 1 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of the country (state treason), which provides for 12 to 15 years of colony. He is put on the wanted list.
Several dozens of people came to Wednesday, but only 15 listeners were allowed to the hall - there was no place left for the rest in a small room.
At the beginning of the meeting, lawyer Emil Kurbedinov repeatedly filed a request for admission to the process by the defender of the Moscow journalist, the former Soviet political prisoner Alexander Podrabinek. At the preliminary hearings on May 31, Kulishov rejected the petition, referring to the need for the personal presence of a suburban to resolve the issue. On June 7, the former political prisoner arrived at the meeting, and the judge agreed to allow him to the process, despite the protest of the prosecutor of Sarginov.
According to Krymsos, after the announcement of the indictment and performance of Umarov, six witnesses of the prosecution, including two FSB operatives, were questioned with the comments. When the questionnaire of the operative Vladimir Shevchenko was announced, his residence permit and actual residence was named the address of the Crimean head of the FSB - Boulevard Franco, as Aisha Umarova noted, Shevchenko worked in the SBU in the protection department of statehood. As now, he dealt with issues related to the Crimean Tatar community.
Lawyer Kurbedinov noted a significant discrepancy between Shevchenko’s testimony in court with his own testimony at the investigation. If, in the investigation, the security forces said that he “received operational information” about the television set of the deputy chairman of the Mejlis and “took measures”, then in court he said that he personally was monitoring the media, identifying suspicious materials. “Thus, it turns out that it was with its filing that this criminal case began, with its denunciation,” Aisha Umarova remarked.
Further meetings in the case will also be held on Wednesdays from 14:30. On the next, June 14, it is supposed to continue interrogations of witnesses of the prosecution.
Pearl in the commentary "Crimea. Realia" sharply criticized the quality of the investigation. The accusation is not even trying to present evidence of guilt, the defender noted, replacing them not related to the acts of the details.
The factory of the case against Umarov became known on May 12, 2016. Part 2 of Article 280.1 of the Russian Criminal Code (public calls for separatism through the media), the policy faces up to five years in the colony. He is under the subscription about the loss.
Umarov is charged with an interview given on March 19, 2016 on the live air of the Crimean Tatar television channel ATR, which, after expulsion from Crimea, works in Kiev. According to the FSB, the deputy chairman of the Mejlis "publicly called for the need to violate the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation."
The investigation was conducted by the UFSB official for the annexed Crimea and Sevastopol Senior Lieutenant of Justice Igor Skryka. In the case, three volumes with a volume of about 250 pages each.
Umarov does not admit guilt; He did not give testimony at the investigation. In public comments, the politician explained that he actually advocated the restoration of territorial integrity of both Ukraine and Russia within the international recognized boundaries of these countries.
