The Commission on the Cl Health of the Orenburg region rejected the petition of the pardon of the former head of the economic security department of Yukos Alexei Pichugin, sentenced to a life sentence. This was reported by Interfax with reference to the press service of the governor and the government of the region.

According to lawyer Pichugin Ksenia Kostromina, the petition was submitted on May 4 to enable the state to fulfill two decisions of the ECHR in favor of the politicalese.

In June last year, Pichugin was refused pardon for the first time .

On June 6, the ECHR awarded Pichugin 15 thousand euros, satisfying the Politzek’s complaint against violations committed against him during the second process.

On this complaint, Pichugin was awarded 9.5 thousand euros. In accordance with the decision of the ECHR, the first sentence to Politzeku was supposed to be revised, but in October 2013 the Supreme Court confirmed the life sentence of the Politzek.

Pichugin was arrested in June 2003. In March 2005, he was sentenced to 20 years of strict regime on charges of organizing the murder of Tambov businessmen Sergey and Olga Gorin.
