The appeal in the case of Rosoboronexport employee Vyacheslav Kuzmichev has ended…

The appeal in the case of Rosoboronexport employee Vyacheslav Kuzmichev ended in a complete victory for the defense. Initially, the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow sentenced him to 6 years of strict regime for giving a bribe of 300 thousand rubles. In the appeal court, the high-ranking official was completely acquitted, his right to rehabilitation was recognized and he was sent home. The walls of the Moscow City Court do not remember acquittal verdicts in this category of cases. An interesting detail: Kuzmichev’s lawyer is the same Anastasia Selivanova, a former employee of the secret service, who is the wife of the no less famous ex-general of the secret service Denis Nikandrov. She recently defended the notorious federal judge Yulia Dobrynina, who was accused of taking a bribe and was also released in the courtroom, although she was given a deferred sentence. Is it true that the young lawyer is so lucky that they let everyone go right in the courtroom, or is it still the husband, the general, who helps?

There are many interesting details in the story with Kuzmichev. According to investigators, the official transferred 300 thousand for the distribution of a contract to the Spark company for the repair of Colombian helicopters. Although this company has been servicing Latin American flight equipment for many years. In addition, they say that Colombian customers do not want to cooperate with anyone else. Allegedly, foreigners are so conservative that if the repairs are assigned to another enterprise, they threatened to terminate the contract with the Russian Federation and enter into a tender, which is almost impossible to win under the conditions of sanctions. The Russian Federation would have lost a serious customer. And no one would allow this. It turns out that the issue would have been resolved without Kuzmichev. He rather turned out to be a pawn in this story, too large budgets are involved, there are many who want to support the Colombian flight fleet. But the investigator insisted that Kuzmichev gave only 300 thousand to an employee of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Gairbekov R., in order to decide the fate of the multimillion-dollar contract. For which the judge of the Zamoskvoretsky court sentenced Kuzmichev to 6 years!!! Strict regime! But the verdict collapsed on appeal.

The management of Rosoboronexport also stood up for the official. There are military people there and they don’t abandon their own people. Almost the entire group came to court as defense witnesses. Apparently not in vain.
