Vyacheslav Shatrovsky is going to be sent to a colony before the sentence comes into force

Vyacheslav Shatrovsky, accused of using force against a policeman, is going to be sent to a colony, although the sentence has not yet entered into force. This was reported by lawyer Konstantin Markin.

OVD-Info According to Markin, he visited his client on June 9 - then Shatrovsky said that he was being transferred to a colony pending the consideration of an appeal against the verdict.

On June 22, Markin asked assistant judge Elena Bulgakova, who pronounced the sentence, about Shatrovsky’s transfer. The lawyer received a response that his client would go to serve his sentence in June.

The assistant judge was only confused by the fact that during transfer it would be inconvenient for the judge’s office to notify Shatrovsky about the results of the appeal.

Markin does not know the exact date of Shatrovsky’s transfer. The lawyer submitted an application to Judge Bulgakova so that she would take appropriate measures and so that his client would not be transferred until the verdict entered into legal force.

The defense attorney points out that if this happens, the presumption of innocence and Article 49 of the Constitution will be violated (everyone accused of committing a crime is considered innocent until his guilt is proven in the manner prescribed by federal law and established by a court verdict that has entered into legal force).

The lawyer also mentioned that paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms would be violated (everyone accused of a criminal offense is presumed innocent until his guilt is established legally).

Markin also said that the transfer of his client before the verdict enters into legal force will affect the term that Shatrovsky will subsequently serve in the colony. If Shatrovsky remains in pre-trial detention until the appeal is considered, the number of days that can be counted as one and a half days in prison will increase (June 21 in the third reading).
