Appeal for the sentence to Stanislav Zimovts

On September 25, at 11:30, the Moscow City Court will consider an appeal against the sentence to Stanislav Zimovts, a participant in the anti -corruption action on March 26.

On July 20, the Judge of the Tver District Court Elena Ermakova sentenced the Zimovts to two and a half years in general regime on charges of attacking the castle commander of the 2nd operational battalion of riot police, Lieutenant Colonel Vadim Kotenev. The 32-year-old Zimovets was declared guilty under Part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code (the application of non-hazardous violence to a representative of the authorities).

The verdict was based on the initial confession, data from the political zoom at the investigation on the advice of the appointed lawyer Diana Tatosa . Meanwhile, in the future, after the lawyer “Agora” Svetlana Sidorkina, Zimovets refused the deal with the prosecutor’s office and the consideration of the case in a special manner.

"The arguments of the defendant (given in the process. - Ed.) On the illegality of the actions of the employees of the Russian Guard did not find objective confirmation," said Judge Ermakova.

The verdict for the real term, the judge noted, is issued "in order to restore justice."

“Friends, don’t be afraid of anything, I have to go through this,” Zimovets commented on the verdict. “Otherwise, my children will have to go through this.”

Zimovets confirmed that he did not admit guilt. “I am convinced that those who were on protests on March 26 and June 12 are the future of our country,” he said in the debate. “I am convinced that there is no place in our country. I would not want someone like Vova Putin to beat my children for corruption.”

Politsyk also emphasized that there was no direct evidence of his guilt in the process.

The lawyer of Sidorkin also demanded an acquittal for her principal, pointing out many violations during the investigation and contradictions in the testimony of witnesses.
