Samara: criminal case on incitement of national hatred terminated

In Samara, the court freed a local resident from criminal liability and imposed a court fine on him.
On December 14, 2018, the Sovietsky District Court of Samara stopped the criminal prosecution of a local resident Yevgeny Domaev, born in 1980, and imposed a court fine on him in the amount of 80,000 rubles.

Samarts was accused under Part 1 of Art. 282 of the Criminal Code (inciting national hatred). According to the investigation, he published on his page on the social network VKontakte some xenophobic posts directed against representatives of certain ethnic groups.

Domaev fully admitted his guilt and declared remorse.

In February 2019, the verdict entered into force.

Recall that the practice of sending criminal cases by investigators to the court for their termination and the appointment of a criminal law measure in the form of a judicial fine to the accused was introduced into the legislation since July 2016. This criminal law institution is designed to enable people who have committed crimes of small and medium gravity for the first time and who have completely compensated for the harm caused by the crime in a legal way to avoid criminal liability.
