Lawyers for the former secretary of the Oktyabrsky District Court of St. Petersburg, Alexander Eyvazov, found in his case file an empty protocol form signed by the victim, judge Irina Kerro. This is reported by "RBC", with reference to the appeal of the lawyer of the human rights association "Team 29" Yevgeny Smirnov to the prosecutor of St. Petersburg, Sergei Litvinenko. According to Smirnov, this indicates a possible falsification of the case materials.
Eyvazov is accused of obstructing the administration of justice (part 3 of article 294 of the Criminal Code). On January 15, a new charge was added to him - of slandering judge Irina Kerro (part 1 of article 298.1 of the Criminal Code).
The former court employee was arrested on August 24, 2017. According to investigators, Eyvazov did not produce and did not sign the minutes of the trial within the specified time because of personal dislike for the judge and the desire to cancel the verdict in the criminal case of attempted fraud. According to Eyvazov himself, he did not draw up the minutes of the court session, and therefore refused to sign it. The former secretary also noted that he was asked to sign the protocol retroactively.
At the end of 2016, Alexander Eyvazov resigned from the Oktyabrsky District Court and sent about 80 messages to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee, the Supreme Court, the prosecutor's office and other authorities about massive violations in court. Among them, he pointed out the falsification of court records, "informal" relations between judges and prosecutors, humiliation and insults against the defendants.
