Daniil Konon was awarded 100 thousand rubles in compensation for prosecution in the “Moscow case”

The Tverskoy District Court of Moscow appointed ex-defendant of the "Moscow case" Daniil Konon 100 thousand rubles as compensation for illegal criminal prosecution. This was reported in the online broadcast of MBKh Media.

Thus, the court partially satisfied the plaintiff's claim. At the same time, the defense side estimated the moral damage brought to Konon by his criminal case at 1.4 million rubles. Lawyer Grigory Chervonny cited the circumstances in which Konon found himself - the initiation of a criminal case, searches, his arrest and detention. He spent about a month in jail.

At the meeting, Konon noted that in many media he was described as a criminal. He said that he experienced negative psychological and emotional states, since he had not previously been convicted.

There was no representative of the defendant from the Ministry of Finance at the trial.

Earlier, the Tver court appointed 150,000 rubles in compensation to another defendant in the Moscow case, Alexei Minyailo. The assigned amount is ten times less than what the activist asked for.

• On July 7, an uncoordinated action took place in Moscow in support of unregistered candidates for the Moscow City Duma. It detained at least 1373 people. After the action, criminal cases were opened under articles on mass riots (Article 212 of the Criminal Code) and the use of violence against government officials (Article 318 of the Criminal Code).
• In September, the Investigative Committee stopped criminal prosecution of four defendants in the case of "mass riots" - Daniil Konon, Sergey Abanichev, Valery Kostenok and Vladislav Barabanov. The latter demanded to award him compensation in the amount of 1,212,318 rubles.
