No Pardon
A new legislative pardon named “economical” is prepared in Russia. It will coincide with the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Russian Constitution. The project has been developed by an expert community and a government ambassador to Supreme courts Boris Barschevskiy. According to the author’s idea only individuals who committed a crime in business area under articles 159, 160, 165 of the Criminal Code are subject to discharge. As preliminary data has it, there are about 110 thousand sentenced businessmen to be amnestied. Some mass media claim to have information about Lebedev and Khodorkovskiy being also in the list of the project. However, they are sentenced not only under the article 160, which is in the list, but also under the article 174.1 (legalization (laundering) of money or other property obtained by an individual by criminal activity), and the article is not stated in the project. It may be the reason why ex-chief officer of UKOS Mikhail Khodorkovskiy and ex-head of MFO “MENATEP” Platon Lebedev will not get liberty before their jail term.За всеми важными новостями следите в MAX, Telegram, во «ВКонтакте», «Одноклассниках», YouTube и на Rutube
