Lawyer: Martintsov, a defendant in the “Moscow case,” lost hearing in one ear due to poor treatment in a pre-trial detention center

Lawyer Maxim Ignatiev said that the defendant in the “Moscow case” Maxim Martintsov, sentenced to 2.5 years in prison in the case of an attack on a National Guardsman (Part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code), stopped hearing in one ear due to poor quality treatment in the capital’s pre-trial detention center No. 5 .

Ignatiev said that his client felt bad during the trial, but he was not provided with assistance in the pre-trial detention center. The hearings lasted 7-8 hours, the lawyer emphasized, and Martintsov “spent the rest of the time in a cold paddy wagon with a fever and “shooting ears.”

While appealing the arrest in the Moscow City Court, the lawyer writes, it turned out that his client’s health had worsened. “At the same time, medical assistance to Martintsov is provided without the necessary medical supervision and the medications he needs, and the disease itself has already entered the chronic stage, as a result of which my client has actually stopped hearing in one ear,” the lawyer said. He added that Martintsov has otitis media, an inflammatory process in the ears.

Martintsov was sentenced on December 6. According to investigators, he, along with Yegor Lesnykh and Alexander Mylnikov, during the action on June 27, knocked down National Guardsman Maxim Kosov, who was beating the townspeople lying on the ground. All three defendants pleaded not guilty, Lesnykh received three years in prison, Mylnikov received two years probation.
