Brother for his brother

The convicted person in the "postal case" to Oleg Navalny, the brother of the politician Alexei Navalny, once again tightened the conditions for the detention of the IK-5 of the Oryol region. This was reported on the FB page of the Police.

“They took the table from me; they nailed my stool and bedside table (in different corners of the camera - apparently, to make it convenient to write letters); they walled up in concrete an electric outlet (now it is very convenient to shave and boil water); they took away all the colors, colored handles and so on, indicating that I can only two simple pencils and one red, - writes Navalny. All books were selected, since, in their opinion, the number provided for by the internal regulations is too much threaten to send me instead of dates with relatives in the schizo. "

According to Politzek, the colony administration did this by order of the deputy head of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Oryol Region Vasily Mikhailko. The defense of Navalny turned to the regional department of the Investigative Committee with a request to check the actions of the jailer. The use of electrical appliances and written accessories is not prohibited by the rules of the internal routine of the correctional institution. Navalny’s lawyer believes that the actions of the officials of the Oryol FSIN may contain signs of crimes under Articles 285 (abuse of authority) and 286 of the Criminal Code (abuse of authority). Similar statements are sent to the FSIN and PMC.

The administration of the Oryol IK-5 considers Navalny a malicious violator of order. He has 13 penalties, five of which he received due to the fact that he kept the phone, the SIM card and the USB carrier, and also refused to work without good reason. Four times Navalny was placed in a schizo. According to the colony administration, he does not respond to "educational events" and does not change his behavior. The courts have repeatedly denied Politzeko too and mitigate the punishment .

On December 30, 2014, the judge of the Zamoskvoretsky district court of Moscow Elena Korobchenkofound the brothers Navalny guilty of the "postal case". Navalny Sr. received 3 and a half years conditionally with a three -year trial period, and his brother - the same real term. In addition, each of the convicts was fined in the amount of 500 thousand rubles. The judge also satisfied the lawsuit against the brothers of the "multidisciplinary processing company" for 4.5 million rubles.

Part 4 of Article 159 were charged to the Navalny brothers (an especially large -scale fraud committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy and using their official position) and paragraph “A” of part 3 of Article 174.1 of the Criminal Code (laundering of funds by a group of persons by prior conspiracy). According to investigators, the bulk deceived over 26 million rubles belonging to the company Yves Rocher East, and more than 4 million rubles of a "multidisciplinary processing company". In addition, the brothers accused more than 21 million rubles of legalizing. The theft, according to the prosecution, was that the company of Alexei Navalny Glavli subcontracts with the involvement of subcontractors for four and a half years provided transport and expedition services to these companies at high prices.

Both the lawyers of the convicts and the prosecutor's office appealed the verdict. The supervisory authority objected to the re -qualification of the prosecution. However, on February 17, 2015 , the Moscow City Court left the verdict as a whole unchanged , only withdrawing a 500,000th fine from Navalny Sr..

In October 2017, the European Court of Human Rights appointed the brothers Navalny compensation of 75 thousand euros and 450 thousand rubles for persecution in the "postal case". The verdict was recognized as violating article 6 of the European Convention (the right to a fair court). The ECHR considered that the Navalny was tried for ordinary entrepreneurial activities. At the same time, the Russian courts did not properly consider the arguments of the defense, the decision said.

The court, however, refused to recognize the persecution of the brothers political. At the same time, three of the seven judges made a special opinion that the ECHR was still obliged to consider the political side of the case.
