Will serve his sentence in a nationalist colony of special regime. However, the defense of the convicted person does not agree with the verdict and intends to appeal to a higher court. For the completion of the trial head Bourn watched the correspondent of “Rosbalt”.
The sentence ideologue Combat Organization of Russian Nationalists was announced in the same hall of the Moscow City Court, where its second verdict of life imprisonment exactly ten months earlier heard him once a close friend of Nikita Tikhonov. Around the iron-and-glass “aquarium” on duty, four strong police canine distance stood, holding a shepherd on a leash. Slender, thin young man – on the nose narrow rectangular glasses – sitting quietly on a bench, his legs crossed, wearing blue jeans, black jacket and dark shirt with a huge inscription “OUR Crimea.” Carefully draw with the course of the process image of the diligent defense counsel, the defendant peaceful student stood up to the end. His involvement in a gang of ultra-right, he categorically denied and strongly stated its readiness to contribute to the developments in the east of Ukraine.
The TV cameras and reporters hammered room seemed one of the two defenders Nikolai Polozov Goryachev – the second lawyer, Mark Feigin, will only during the press after the meeting approaches. Defendant revived, he jumped the wall, “aquarium” and began quietly something to discuss with a lawyer. From the conversation was clearly audible only Polozova question: “Are you okay?” The answer was yes.
Judge Paul Melekhin entered the room and began to read the sentence imposed by the jury.
According to the text of the verdict, Ilya Goryachev created a radical group Born and directly supervised her from the middle 2008 November 3, 2009, when he was arrested his chief accomplice Nikita Tikhonov, and communicate with other members of the gang broke. The investigation has named defendant accomplices in the murder of antifascists Fyodor Filatov and Ilya Japaridze Salohiddin migrant Azizov, lawyer Stanislav Markelov and student Rasul Khalilov. In addition to participating in these crimes (paragraphs “a”, “g”, “h” and “n” ch. 2, Art. 105 of the Criminal Code), nationalist accusation has been brought into the creation of gangs (Art. 1, Art. 209 of the Criminal Code) extremist community (Art. 1, Art. 282.1 of the Criminal Code), illegal arms trafficking (Art. 3 of Art. 222 of the Criminal Code).
As quickly and clearly read the sentence the judge reached the description of weapons arsenal, which houses the group, Goryachev quietly leaned on the wall, “aquarium”, and after half a minute unconscious slowly slid to the floor. Hardly heard whispers in the hall, pulled the powerful police officer present. The police from the cordon quickly opened the “cage”, the defendant sat on the bench and called a colleague. He brought a bottle of ammonia and brought to life Goryachev.
Relatives nationalist who stood in the front row seats for spectators, and bustling. Low girl in a denim jacket pulled out of the bag opened bottle of mineral water and handed it to the bailiff: “Tell him.” “It is impossible,” – the man snapped. Then she took a sip herself, took paper handkerchiefs and cried. A little later, the nerves passed and grandmother Goryachev. Sobbed the old woman was allowed to sit down. With trembling hands, she wiped her tears and frequent sips water from a bottle. All this time, Paul Melekhin continued to read about the episode with the murder of lawyer Stanislav Markelov on a central Moscow street in winter 2009.
“In the appointment of punishment Goryachev court shall consider the nature and degree of public danger of the offense and his role in the commission of crimes “- said the judge.
mitigating circumstances on the murder of Stanislav Markelov court considered testimony against Nikita Tikhonov and Yevgenia Khasis accomplice in 2011. Immediately after the case nationalist fled to Serbia, where he tried to hide from the investigation. However, between the law enforcement agencies of the two countries signed an agreement on extradition, the only condition which served as a ban on the appointment of the accused of the death penalty.
As a result of the creation of an extremist community, Ilya Goryachev got 3.5 years of colony for hooliganism motivated by political , racial and national hatred – 13 years for trafficking in weapons – 5 years for murder – life sentence. “In the aggregate definitively assign Goryachev sentence of life imprisonment in a penal colony of special regime” – summed up the judge. In addition, according to the decision, the ideologist of Bourn is obliged to pay 5 million rubles. a civil lawsuit mother murdered antifascist Ilya Japaridze.
“The procedure and terms of appeal are clear?” – I asked the defendant Paul Melekhin. Goryachev said a simple “Yes.” For further clarification of the judge, he responded with a nod.
At the end of the meeting a lawyer Nikolay Polozov announced his intention to appeal the verdict to a higher court. The main claim of protection for the “procedural irregularities” which, in their opinion, the jury’s verdict was handed down.
“We believe that in the work of the jury was outside intervention – said the lawyer. – This is that shortly before the verdict, three jurors went out of business in one day, the next day another juror was lost and then found. And the prosecution was aware of what was happening with the jury, but the parties can not know and communicate with the jury. We believe that was broken secret deliberation room because even before the verdict on the UK site was posted a press release that the verdict has in fact been a foregone conclusion. ” His colleague, Mark Feigin reported a complaint to the General Prosecutor of Russia.
In turn, the prosecutor was satisfied with the punishment handed down Goryachev. According to her, “all the conditions have been guaranteed in the Russian Federation according to the 1957 European Convention on Extradition, are met”: “One of the main guarantees of extradition Goryachev – was not the purpose of his death. With the currently observed,” – said the prosecutor .
“It is very difficult, no sentence I did not return his son. I feel sorry for these bad people, it is a pity that they have lost the human soul, the human heart. What is their children, the offspring of parents say about them … Just no words “- said through tears at the exit of the court the mother of Ilya Japaridze Donar.
