The case of the ex-head of the Buryat "ER" about the death of a girl in an accident came to trial

The criminal case of the ex-head of the Buryat branch of the EP and the former vice-speaker of the parliament of the Republic of Bair Zhambalov was transferred to court. He is accused of the death of a minor girl, whom he left on the road after an accident.

The criminal case against the former vice-speaker of the People’s Khural of Buryatia, accused of a death accident with a child (part 4 of article 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and abandoning (Article 125 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), was received by the Baikal District Court, his website said.

According to the Buryat SK, in the evening of January 5, 2020, Zhambalov returned to Ulan-Ude on his Toyota Land Cruiser Prado after fishing on Lake Kotkel. Near the village of Baturino, moving at a speed of at least 104 km/h, he ran into the 17-year-old Galina Burchevskaya, who crossed the road.

After the accident, the defendant did not provide first aid to the victim and disappeared from the scene of the crime. The girl died in the hospital from injuries.

First, the UK opened a criminal case against Ulan-Ude entrepreneur Galust Pilosyan, who said that he was allegedly driving Jeep Zhambalov. Later, the investigation charged the deputy of the People’s Khural to himself.

During the investigation, Zhambalov wrote a statement on the addition of powers of the vice-speaker of the parliament of the republic, but then changed his mind to leave the post. After the detention in April 2020, the accused was sent under house arrest and excluded from United Russia.

In the summer of 2020, Zhambalov tried to recover in position through the court, but the Supreme Court of Buryatia left a decision without change.

The date of the first meeting in the criminal case of the former vice-speaker of the parliament has not yet been scheduled.

Earlier, the father of the girl shot down to death, Maxim Burchevsky, wrote a letter to Zhambalov, in which he called him a “coward” and advised him to make a confession until “a point of no return”
