the arrest of the Governor of Khabarovsk territory Sergey Furgala is one of the most controversial events of recent times. To protect him, among other things, took the former scientific Secretary of the scientific Advisory Board of the Supreme court of the USSR (now a lawyer). Your first indications Furgal gave it.
what is the mystery of the investigation in the case Furgal and what is the “right of the first night in “Lefortovo” – Boris KOZHEMYAKIN.
-Boris Abramovich, why you undertook to defend the Governor and is it true that their first testimony he gave to you?
-Turned friends. I know well the Khabarovsk Krai. The thing is, in my opinion, very interesting.
-Well, it is you very delicately put it. I would say it is one of the most controversial.
Maybe. The first indications were really with my participation. Before that gave a bit of a date, we talked a bit.
it’s Clear that you will not give the essence of the conversation, but how did he seem?
the Conversation actually was simple on his part a complete denial of the crime (he has two episodes – the murder of Bulatov and attempted murder Smolski). As they say – neither sleep nor spirit. He says that the result announced, – refuses to admit guilt. He seemed very calm guy.
-is it True that yesterday you took a subscription about nondisclosure?
-In case several lawyers and all of us have a subscription.
But why a meeting on the measure passed in the closed mode? Unless there was information constituting a state secret?
In court the part of the meeting closed and-but that allegedly received threats. Furgal said: “nobody threatens Me, but I will leave it to the discretion of the court.”
In fact there is no information constituting a state secret. But is the concept of secrecy of the investigation. Here is a link to it what is it here? I find it difficult to answer that. If you look beyond all the problems, I do not understand at all why often see the secrecy of the investigation in some cases.
What is the investigation secret? Here arrested a man who stole and buried in some place 40 kg of gold. While the gold will dig up this secret, otherwise any one will go and dig the treasure. And when the principle investigative actions are completely normal – it’s not a mystery.
You have already appealed the arrest?
– I wrote a complaint to the measure. The gist of it: the snail, which are presented to the court, are just words.
15 years ago, was prosecuted, it was under the control of the General Prosecutor’s office. There appeared the name Furgala (not that it came now from the ceiling). But it was under the control of the attorney General, all suspicion from Furgala was taken. What happened now? Found traces of blood? Or finger prints�� at the scene finally compared with his they match? No. And it turns out that was silent for so many years. Talking about people’s lives. For me personally the important one is the evidence to no evidence. If the crime is proven –will the court apply the Statute of limitations or not. But absolutely definitely can’t be life imprisonment.
Explain in more detail. Since perfect crime expired Statute of limitations, but under current law they can be used by the court. If the court does not apply, the maximum period of time, including life, are excluded.
-In “Lefortovo” allowed in the draw. You are about to fall?
-Yes, now in jail is a day only 3-4 of the lawyer – one room for meetings. We signed up on June 24.
By the way, in “Lefortovo” is the “right of first night” – those whose only defendants detained, you can try to go out of turn. Furgala lawyers will try to use it.
