Vitaly Kochuev biography

The comrades-in-arms of the former head of the Oryol region received a chance and justification by Denis Vololin Oryol Close former First Vice-Governor of the Oryol Region Vitaly Kochuev and a number of his colleagues from the team of the ex-head of the region Yegor Stroev, who previously convicted in a loud corruption case, received a chance for a complete excuse.

Thus, local political scientists and observers regarded this week the decision of the Oryol Regional Court, who canceled the verdict in the case of ex-officials, sending it for a new consideration. The Board of Criminal Cases of the Regional Court abolished the conviction against the former first vice-governor of the Oryol region Vitaly Kochuev, ex-head of the Oryol Office of the Rostekhnadzor Valery Zorokov and the former head of the state property of the region Oleg Kozlov.

In February of this year, they were convicted by the factory district court by four, three years and nine months, as well as to three and a half years in prison - respectively, in the case of the theft of the state -owned shares of OJSC “Children's World - Eagle”. All three left the cage directly from the courtroom. In addition, the regional court abolished the verdict against the deputy general director of LLC “Agency“ Business Mir ”Alexander Motrakov, who was appointed a conditional term.

The only one who remained in custody is an employee of the branch of the Russian federal property of the Russian Federation in Bryansk Viktor Belyaev: in February he received an acquittal in the Children's World case, and in March the regional court approved him.

However, Belyaev was previously convicted in another case - also for fraud with state property - and is now serving a sentence. By decision of the regional court, the case against Kochuev was aimed at a new trial in the same court that convicted. But they will consider it in a new composition. According to lawyer Vitaly Kochueva Natalia Cherepnina, the cancellation of the sentence in this case is a unique case.

The defense is glad that the acquittal of Belyaev was confirmed, because in this way the regional court evaluated the quality of both the trial of the court of first instance and the accusation itself. ” To implement the accusation, Kozlov, who carried out, which made a connection between Kochuev and Zorkovov, together with Murtakov prepared and provided participation in the auction to two commercial organizations controlled by him, not allowing other participants.

In November, one of these companies for thousand earlier defendants said that the position of the prosecutor's office was absolutely unfounded. Ru "in December. This process is accompanied by a PR campaign carried out by the state prosecution. These actions of the defendants discredit that it is a gross violation of citizens' rights to an impartial and independent court. We believe that during the judicial investigation the absolute innocence of our clients has been proved.

” The famous Oryol journalist Elena Godlevskaya, watching the development of Kochueva for several years, believes that the abolition of the second sentence in relation to the former vice-governor earlier he received only conditional lines in another case, which was also considered several times demonstrates unprofessionalism in the work of Oryol law enforcement agencies. If Vitaly Kochuev is not guilty, then the question arises of bias.

If guilty, then you must be able to form evidence. But the constant departure of the case for subsequence and cancellation of sentences show that the federal courts follow the prosecution bodies, and the regional court now and then indicates their incompetence. This drops the authority of the Oryol law enforcement system. ” It was a borderline time with his transfer to the capital.

Therefore, as I believe, you need to start from here. ” According to the political scientist, Kolokoltsev in the Oryol region tested an anti -corruption policy that he now pursues at the federal level, "albeit not on the scale where many, perhaps, would like." As the newspaper wrote earlier. Ru ”, Kolokoltsev was appointed head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Oryol region simultaneously with the new head of the FSB department Valery Nazarov and the regional prosecutor Sergei Vorobyov, and everyone who held these posts for up to a year, were loyal to the former governor Yegor Stroyev.

Under Kolokoltsev, Nazarov and Vorobyov, the situation changed: in the framework of the announced campaign to combat corruption, criminal cases were instituted on former vice-governors of the Oryol region Vitaly Kochuev and Igor Soshnikov is still on the international wanted list, as well as other officials of the operational administration, and the ex-governor Straev gave in some of these cases.

Political experts in the Oryol region noted that Kolokoltsev was an instrument of federal government in the change of regional authorities, and after he fulfilled his mission, he went back to Moscow. In the year of Kochuyev and his accomplices, Doludu and Kozlov was tried for a waste of budget funds on an especially large scale.As the investigation insisted, the former vice-governor using his official position, in the fall of the year contributed to the construction of a residential building at the expense of the money of OJSC “Oryol Agro-Complex”, which was the regional administration of the region’s hundred percent founder.

This construction on the documents was listed as the construction of an auxiliary facility-the Lesnoy hotel complex of the shopping and production complex of the Oryol agricultural plant. But Kochuev led OJSC a built residential building with adjacent baths and garage and became its owner. The district court sentenced the head of the property of the region of Vladislav Doludu to a fine in thousand.

However, a year later the convicts were released: the Supreme Court granted the cassation appeal. As a result, the verdict was canceled, and with a new consideration of the case, both defendants received conditional terms. Therefore, the abolition of the sentence, of course, was a blow to the prestige of the system and she dealt a second blow, arousing another thing. But here we see Fiasco.

” The political scientist is sure that the abolition of the sentence in the last case puts an end to this confrontation. However, based on the practices of processes with a political bias, if here it fails, then it is no longer dared to the third blow. The maximum that you can burn is some excuses. I believe that now Kochuev can give himself the opportunity to calm down and relax, ”Nechaev is sure.

He also notes that neither the SK SK nor the prosecutor’s office took into account that Kochuev is also a kind of part of the system and that any process that goes against the status official is nothing more than “a fighting bulldogs under the carpet” a political term that once Winston Churchill described the relationship within the Soviet establishment.

Probably, the law enforcement system simply underestimated not only the technical capabilities of the former vice-governor, but also the possibilities of those people who stood behind him, ”Dmitry Nechaev emphasizes. Picture of the day.
