The era leaves. Following Olga Egorova, Arthur Karpov, the most famous “arrest” judge of Moscow, left the capital system. Businessmen, opposition, governors, mayors, ministers, former police officers - the most important and responsible was given to him. He seemed to be indispensable. And it is difficult to imagine the Basmanny court without Arthur Karpov, who planted people there continuously for 14 years.
And now - resigned. It's not about raising. “He quit,” the press service of the Basmanny court said concisely. It seems like just a retirement (he will be very good with all the lifelong judging benefits). It is unlikely that Arthur Karpov will go to lawyers. Otherwise, you will have to lose your lifelong content. Only another “Basmannaya” judge - Elena Labelkova went to lawyers. True, she was deprived of the authority for a disciplinary violation (she freed one prisoner instead of another. It happens).
Karpov has no violations. In terms of professional biography for the current judicial system, it is clean as a baby.
Always praying and pulling up. The processing is explained: he came to the judge from the military prosecutor's office. He sent citizens into custody with a characteristic of military cold determination. Without misfires.
We must pay tribute: Karpov did not humiliate citizens, as others, and - a rarity! - I listened carefully to the suspects and the accused. Usually, after all, judges do not take “contingent” in the cage for the dust, they cut their speech and never look into the eyes. Karpov looked. Calmly.

He refused the mother of Magnitsky, who died in the "sailor silence" in complaints against illegal posthumous persecution and inaction in the investigation of the circumstances of his death. He refused calmly, politely, unemotional. I got into the Magnitsky List.
His most famous decisions:
The imprisonment of the organizer of the murder of the Novaya Gazeta observer Anna Politkovskaya - retired police lieutenant colonel Dmitry Pavlyuchenkov (2011);
The arrests and extension of the arrests to the defendants of the "Swamp" (2012) and "Moscow" cases (2019). However, once Karpov sent the defendant under house arrest, in another case he completely released from custody;
a change in the bulk of the preventive measure from the subscription of the defect of the “Iv Rocher” (2014);
the arrest and extension of the arrests of the accused of the crash of the Falcon aircraft, the head of the Total company Christophe de Margeri in Vnukovo;
extension of the arrest of the Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko and the mayor of Vladivostok Igor Pushkarev;
The arrests of the governor of the Kirov region Nikita Belykh, the Governor of the Khabarovsk Territory Sergey Furgal, the founder of the company Baring Vostok, the US citizen Michael Kalvi.
Many who were sent to the pre-trial detention center Karpov were sentenced to considerable terms, someone has a colony yet ahead. Among the arrested by Karpov there were enough "economic" who could sit with the bracelets at home before the sentence.
But Arthur Karpov will not be remembered by such decisions - he was a classic product of the era of Olga Egorova,
part of the system consisting of non -self -state judges, with vertebrates, copy -paste and indicative courts.

So without Karpov with basmanny justice, everything will be fine. And I will leave a photo of a door plate with his last name as a keepsake. In memory of the era, which will still end sooner or later.
