“This is not a legal but a political decision” – BBC

Presnensky Court of Moscow began to disclose the verdict in the case “Oboronservis” and former director of the department of economic relations Evgenia Vasilyeva. Experts interviewed by “Gazetoy.Ru” believe that Vasilyev, though found guilty, but still in the end will give a suspended sentence. Sources in the TFR said that now rely on the second case Vasilyeva – 16 billion rubles.

Yevgeny Vasilyev, former head of the Property Department Ministry of Defense, arrived in Presnensky court sentencing a 3-carat diamond and a fresh tattoo eyebrows. She was wearing a white shirt and black jacket strict, from which a blue handkerchief peeking Hermes, on the shoulder – strict bag crocodile.

All the recent days, after the prosecutor asked the judge for eight years on probation Vasilyeva, in his Twitter evahomealone it is laid out mostly drawings. Oil, graphics, ink. In the latest work (“The Mirror”, oil on canvas), published in the blog, the heroine Vasilyeva, blue-eyed and a little sad.

The sentence in which the 12 episodes will read three days. In addition to the suspended sentence she faces the confiscation of property, the prohibition to occupy positions in the civil service and the satisfaction of claims of 800 million rubles. Vassiliev still pleads not guilty and asks acquitted of all. Her defense stated that a guilty verdict would in any case to appeal.

The verdict is expected by May 9 or shortly after the 70th anniversary of the Victory. In his final statement at the previous court session Vasiliev just congratulated all with the holiday, saying that her “grandfather was a naval officer, he survived the blockade and taught me to respect the laws.”

«For most veterans, who for two years told how Vasilyeva and the company derbanit army suspended sentence the court will simply be a great gift, but rather slap in the face” – said the lawyer Alexander Ostrovsky .

In practice, judges almost never give more than asked the prosecutor.

«And the position of the prosecution, and the judgment is aligned at the top, even here there is no doubt – says Ostrovsky. –

This decision is not legal, but political.

Of course, it is resonant, but since we do not have case law others convicted for economic crimes and already serving a sentence can not refer to it, demanding a review of the sentence. ”

The lawyer Artur Ramazanov said that

a suspended sentence, which insists that the prosecutor’s office and, most likely, will be declared by the court, due either to lack of proof of guilt of the accused in the case “Oboronservis”, or weak evidence base gathered by investigators.

«In the legal practice in cases where the defendant’s guilt has not been proved or proved weak, the prosecutor’s office takes a compromise position and asked to sentence of imprisonment while in big size (since, as a rule, it is a crime serious and very serious) but conditional, – Ramazanov explained. – Why is this done? To the defendant and his lawyers did not appeal against the judgment, and if appealed, the superior court, seeing that the person convicted is not the real term of imprisonment, the sentence is not overturned. ”

The interlocutor in TFR said that when Vasilyev, despite the severity of the charges , left under house arrest, but not planted, as is usually the case with those accused of corruption crimes in jail, investigators “all understood.”

«It is obvious that there was a struggle of different groups in the Ministry of Defense and in the end,” beat “those who reformed the army: they convinced on top of that the job is done, and what They were thefts, so where are they do not happen?

Therefore, Serdyukov was left without the criminal case, and Vassiliev, as appears in the final indictment of his alleged cheating. According to the logic of the reformers of the army, probably more, and they could steal, – says the source. – On the other hand, there is a second case, 16 billion rubles., Which also appears Vasilyeva. Perhaps for him ever to be another sentence with a real maturity. ”

The information that has to Vasilyeva another case, appeared in late April. Sources in the TFR argue that they have “laid up” another 34 criminal episodes total value of 16 billion rubles.
