Investigators in Chechnya did not initiate a criminal case at the request of the head of the Grozny representation of the human rights center "Memorial" Oyub Titiev on the falsification of evidence in the case of the storage of drugs. This was reported by Interfax with reference to the head of the program "Hot Pots" Oleg Orlov.
"The lawyer of Oyuba Titiev Peter Zaikin today sends a complaint to the Gudermes court against the illegal actions of employees of the investigating authorities and the cancellation of the decision to refuse to institute criminal proceedings, and also sends a petition to the name (head of the Investigative Committee of Alexander) Bastrykin to transfer the audit to a higher level, beyond the Chechen Republic," Orlov said.
The audit was carried out by the Gudermes inter -district department of the Chechen department of the Investigative Committee, Orlov noted. There Zaikin said that the materials were taken to himself by the Investigative Department of the SK in the Chechen Republic, and the refusal resolution was not issued.
“It turned out that this is not so. In fact, on the 15th, this investigator issued a refusal resolution, and in connection with this, the Investigative Department of the Chechen Republic took on verification materials for the study of the legality of the decision to refuse to institute criminal proceedings,” Orlov said. “We do not know what decision the investigative department would be made, but we are quite obvious to the illegal resolution.”
According to Orlov, the audit was carried out for more than a month, during which time the investigators only interviewed the police who were detaining Titiev, and on the basis of their explanations refused to initiate a criminal case. “This is a mockery of the very idea of checking the statement of the perfect crime. Further in this resolution there is the phrase“ Titiev’s guilt in the crime incriminated to him is confirmed by explanations of witnesses and other criminal materials. ”As an investigator who conducts Titiyev’s statement, it may speak of his fault? On what basis? The investigation has not ended on Oyub Titiyu, there was still no court,” - there was still no court. Orlov emphasized. In his opinion, this phrase alone is enough to consider the decision illegal, as well as to dismiss the investigator who issued him.
In addition, a lawyer’s petition for the seizure of video materials from cameras, which are located on the facade and inside the police department, where Titiev was delivered after his detention, was not considered.
Meanwhile, in the response of the Prosecutor General’s Office to the request of the Human Rights Council, it is said that the supervisory authority did not see violations of the law during the detention and criminal prosecution of Titiev. The HRC turned to the HEAD PRODUCATION in connection with the complaints of the chairman of the Memorial Council of Alexander Cherkasov and Titiev himself against unreasonable criminal prosecution and numerous violations during the inspection of the human rights activist, in which drugs were supposedly discovered.
“Information on non -compliance with the law when stopping the vehicle and its inspection was not received,” the Prosecutor General’s Prosecutor General’s Office claims. “When the IVS of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Shalinsky district, Titiev’s IVS, was documented by the absence of any bodily harm.”
It is noted that the case of Titiev was transferred to the TCR "taking into account the applicant's arguments about the bias of the investigation", and the verification of the human rights activist on falsification of evidence is ongoing. "The prosecutor of the Chechen Republic was instructed to ensure proper supervision of the results of pre -trial production. The execution of the order is controlled," the document says.
The 60-year-old Titiev was detained by the Kadyrovites on January 9 and was arrested two days later. Politzeku was charged with part 2 of Article 228 of the Criminal Code (illegal overalls of drugs on a large scale), which provides for 3 to 10 years in a colony. According to the plot of the case, Titiev was in 180 grams of marijuana in the car.
The human rights activist refuses to plead guilty and insists that drugs were thrown into his car during the inspection of the operatives of the threat of the Kurchaloevsky Ministry of Internal Affairs of Mandzhikov and Magomades.
On February 7, by order of the deputy prosecutor of Chechnya, the Titiev case was transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Kurchaloevsky district to the regional headquarters of the Investigative Committee . The memorial previously insisted on another decision. On January 24, NPOs demanded to transfer the case to the Central Glavk of the Ministry of Internal Affairs . The human rights activists substantiated their demand by the fact that Chechnya is "a territory where there has long been neither a law nor justice." On February 1, the Federal Ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova made a different proposal - to entrust the investigation of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the North Caucasus Federal District.
