The Judicial Collegium for Criminal Cases of the Krasnodar Regional Court considered a criminal case on an appeal against the verdict of the Oktyabrsky District Court of Novorossiysk, to whom the lawyer of the regional law chamber Roman Korsuvorov and his assistant Alexander Milashenko were found guilty of committing a crime under Part 3 of Art. 30, part 3 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code (attempted fraud using official position).
It follows from the court sentence that in the spring of 2020 the defendants promised their friend to assist in obtaining a lawyer status for 350 thousand rubles. The indicated amount, supposedly, had to be transferred to representatives of the lawyer chamber, and agree on a positive assessment of the results of the exam. The man reported to his law enforcement agencies about his proposal. Further actions of the defendants were suppressed by employees of the Federal Security Service of Russia in the Krasnodar Territory, but the lawyer managed to hide. He was detained in October 2020.
The defendants were found guilty of the October district court of Novorossiysk, they were sentenced: Korsuvorov in the form of imprisonment for a period of 3 years and 11 months with a sentence in a penal colony with a deprivation of the right to engage in advocacy for a period of 2 years 6 months; Milashenko – in the form of imprisonment for a period of 3 years and 6 months conventionally with deprivation of the right to engage in advocacy for a period of 2 years. Korsuvorov’s lawyer with an appeal appealed to the Krasnodar Regional Court.
Having examined the materials of the case, having studied the arguments of the appeal, after listening to the opinion of the parties, the judicial board did not find grounds for softening the sentence, leaving it unchanged, and the appeal was not satisfied. The sentence entered into force.
