Oleg Navalny freed himself from the colony

Oleg Navalny, condemned to three and a half years of the general regime in the case of Yves Rocher, was released from IK-5 in the Oryol region, Medusa reports .

The Politzek completely departed the deadline appointed to him in December 2014.

At the colony, Oleg Navalny was met by his brother Alexei Navalny and journalists.

In the colony, the opposition’s brother was repeatedly subjected to unreasonable penalties and put into the penalty center, which is why he was refused several times to conditionally release. A few months after Oleg Navalny got into the colony, they were transferred to strict conditions of detention - they began to keep in a single chamber. In January, Politzeku once again tightened the conditions of detention : they took away the table in the cell, screwed a cut and stool to the floor, walled an electric outlet in concrete and seized all books and written supplies. On June 8, it became known that the opposition’s brother was transferred to a chamber -type premises.

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.

On April 25, 2018, the Supreme Court refused to cancel the verdict to the brothers in connection with the decision of the ECHR. The court only ordered the resumption of proceedings in connection with the newly discovered circumstances.
