Not from a place

The judge of the Supreme Court of Chechnya Buvadi Shovkhalov rejected the request for the transfer of the proceedings in the drug case, fabricated against the chairman of the regional branch of the Memorial Oyub Titiev, from Chechnya to Moscow. This was reported by the colleagues of the Politzek on the "Memorial".

The petition was filed by lawyer Ilya Novikov at preliminary hearings in the Titiev case , which opened on July 3 in the Shali City Court of Chechnya. He substantiated the need to change the jurisdiction of the case with the personal interest of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov in the prosecution of the prosecution. The Gagarinsky District Court of Moscow and the Moscow District Military Court were mentioned as a possible place of trial.

After the application by Novikov, Judge Madin Zaynetdinova announced a break for his consideration until July 9. It was expected that at the 9th hearings she herself would make a decision. However, on Wednesday, "Caucasus.real" reported the upcoming meeting in the Supreme Court of the region.

Novikov was not at the hearing on July 5. Titiev’s interests were represented by lawyers Peter Zaikin and Marina Dubrovina. The prosecutor’s office at the meeting was present at Milan Baitaev, who supported the charge in the process of Jalaudi Geriev , a journalist of the “Caucasian Knot”, who received a three -year term - also in the fabricated drug case. Titiev himself participated in the hearings on the video from the Grozny SIZO-1.

The prosecutor of Baytaev at the hearing opposed Novikov’s petition, accusing Titiev’s defense of the intention to “politicize the process”. She also asked to extend the Politzeku period of detention in the pre -trial detention center without specifying at the same time, until what date.

Lawyers opposed Titiev’s extension, indicating that no intelligible arguments were represented in favor of such a decision.

In addition, Zaikin petitioned for the study of media publications, which Novikov referred to, declaring Kadyrov’s personal interest in the outcome of the process. Shovkhalov refused this. Then Zaikin told the judge the Divid, supported by Dubrovina and Titiev himself. However, he took a challenge Shovkhalov refused.

Further, bypassing the stage of the debate, he immediately opened the exchange of replicas between the prosecutor and lawyers. As Zaikin noted, this limited his ability to protect Titiev.

As a result, Novikov’s petition was refused, and Titiev’s arrest was extended until July 25.

The 60-year-old Titiev, a resident of the village of Kurchal, 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. Initially, the investigation was conducted by the OMVD in the Kurchaloevsky district of Chechnya; In early February, the case was transferred to the Chechen Directorate of the Investigative Committee, where it was engaged in the senior investigator of the 2nd department for the investigation of especially important cases Ibrahim Khadukaev.

The final version of the prosecution claims that the human rights activist "in the place and time, which were not established during the investigation" and "under unidentified circumstances" acquired marijuana for personal use and kept it in his car Lada Kalina. It is stated that a bundle weighing 206.9 grams lay under the front passenger seat of the car, and another 0.94 grams on a rubber rug.

Titiev denies guilt. He insists that drugs were thrown into his car during the inspection by operatives of the threat of Kurchaloevsky OMVD Mandzhikov and Magomades.

The key witness of the prosecution is Amadi Baskhanov, who in his testimony stated that he saw Titiev to smoke marijuana. At the same time, he failed to identify the political prisoner . According to the law, the identification procedure can be carried out only once; Her protocol remains in the case. In order to get out of the situation, the police, in the production of which then it was the case, conducted confrontation with the participation of the investigator and witnesses. Those testified that in reality Baskhanov recognized Titiev, and the record of the opposite in the protocol was made "by misunderstanding."

As it turned out in the course of familiarization with the case file, earlier Baskhanov was put on the wanted list and was repeatedly convicted, including in the drug case. Titiev and his defense demanded that the investigator Khadukaev be complete information about when the witness was wanted, according to which articles, when and under what circumstances he was detained. Also, the political prisoner with lawyers requested information about what other criminal cases Baskhanov passed as a witness. However, Khadukaev refused the petition, without motivating this in the corresponding resolution.

Titiev’s house in Kurchaloy Kadyrovites demolished in February, as well as another 36 aul houses.

At the end of May , Adam Titiev, a human rights activist , was detained in the Kalchalny, as a result of the provocation of the Kadyrovites in the drug case. He was also sent to a pre -trial detention center.

The protection of the Politzeck appealed to the Investigative Committee of the TCR with the request to open the case on the fact of the tape of drugs. The Investigative Department twice refused to initiate the case, and both times the refusals were canceled. On Wednesday, it became known that the Prosecutor General’s Office after the intervention of the Presidential Council of Human Rights was obligated by the prosecutor of Chechnya Sharpuddy Abdul-Kadyrov to verify the legality of the refusals of the Investigative Committee.
