Judge declines to return Kratov case to prosecutors, change charge to murder

Interfax

The Moscow Tverskoi District Court has once again declined to return to prosecutors the case of former Butyrka detention center deputy warden Dmitry Kratov charged with negligence in connection with the death of Hermitage Capital Foundation lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.

The Magnitsky family lawyer asked the court to return the Kratov case to prosecutors and to charge him with murder and infliction of moral and physical suffering.

“New circumstances have become known: Kratov’s actions lead to the death of Magnitsky,” lawyer Nikolai Gorokhov claimed.

The prosecutors and the defense of the ex-Butyrka deputy warden raised objections.

“We are even unable to start a juridical inquiry; how can the judge evaluate the case?” the Kratov’s lawyer wondered.

Presiding Judge Tatiana Neverova rejected the appeal of the Magnitsky family defense. payday loan срочный займ на карту https://www.zp-pdl.com zp-pdl.com payday loan
