In his last word in the court of appeal, Sergei Furgal ironically for…

In his last word in the appellate court, Sergei Furgal ironically stated: “Our poor country… We have already reached the point where the investigative committee cannot even fabricate a case… And the court cannot judge without violations. You can’t, there was nothing to make people laugh then, and start all this.” And you can’t argue with him.

The Cheka of the OGPU has already written that, under the leadership of investigator Yuri Burtovoy, the accused Mistryukov, while in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center, sold shares of the Amurstal plant to the small oligarch Balsky at a price 10 times cheaper than their real value. And the day before the deal, Mistryukov testified against Furgal.

After the end of the preliminary investigation, the head of Burtova’s investigative group went on a “well-deserved” rest.

The preliminary and judicial investigation were carried out so unprofessionally that state prosecutor Shcherbakov, in his speech in the judicial debate when considering appeals against the verdict of the Lyubertsy City Court of February 10, 2023, had to quote Dostoevsky, defending the position of the prosecution. It was impossible to justify the sentence imposed by the norms of the current legislation.

In the court of first instance on charges of a series of contract killings against the ex-governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, Federal Judge Tsoi modestly called the question list for the jury “Questions from the presiding judge in a criminal case…” (pictured). By the way, he announced the verdict in his own name, and not in the name of the Russian Federation, as required by law. In addition to the jury’s testimony that Judge Tsoi was putting pressure on them (the OGPU Cheka wrote about this), the lawyers reported 94 significant procedural violations.

At the same time, almost all the people involved in the Furgal case have made a dizzying career.

Judge Tsoi was promised the position of Chairman of the Lyubertsy Court (now acting), jury foreman Chivirev became head of the Department of Security, Crime Prevention, Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Drug Activities.
And one of the investigators, Colonel Evgeny Medvedkov, in addition to a monetary reward, received the position of head of the department of forensic support of the investigation in the Far Eastern Federal District (with a deployment in the city of Khabarovsk) of the department of forensic support of the investigation in the federal districts of the Main Directorate of Forensic Science (Forensic Center) of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.

On November 15, the decision of the judicial panel for criminal cases of the Moscow Regional Court in this case will be announced.
