The Italian became eligible for parole on November 5, 2021. He tried through the court to get parole, then to replace the unserved term of imprisonment with a more lenient punishment, but both times he was denied. Now he has filed a petition for transfer to a settlement colony.
Shortly before this, the Italian faced a big problem.
Recently Gulagu.net published facts of torture in the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Kaluga Region, in particular in IK-3. Moreover, it was alleged that prisoners collaborating with the administration beat to death prisoner Mikhail Smirnov, who did not cooperate with the administration. After the publications, IK-3 began checking.
According to the source, the administration put enormous pressure on Kochuykov, as an influential person among the prisoners, in order to convince the prisoners to give correct testimony and not raise the topic of torture again. At the same time, it is precisely the solution to the question of replacing the type of correctional institution that is called into question.
