The court process regarding the appeal and protest filed on the verdict against the Ukrainian millionaire Oleg Krapivin, known in the criminal circles by the nickname "Oleg Bakinsky," and Konstantin Kucher, who were arrested for hooliganism in Azerbaijan, has been concluded, APA reports.
The hearing was held today at the Baku Court of Appeals under the chairmanship of Judge Murad Mammadov. The representative of the victim addressed the court.
Lawyer Samir Isayev requested a harsher sentence for Konstantin Kucher and also demanded compensation for moral damages.
The state prosecutor subsequently spoke, calling for the annulment of the previous acquittal under Article 178.4, holding the accused guilty under this article, and seeking an increased sentence for Kucher under Articles 178.4 and 221.3.
It was noted that the sentence proposed by the state prosecutor at the lower court should be applied.
The court then went into deliberation to issue its decision.
According to the court’s decision, the appeals filed by the defendants’ lawyers and the victim, as well as the state prosecutor’s protest, were rejected. The verdict of the first-instance court has been upheld.
Recall that according to the ruling by the Baku Court on Grave Crimes, Oleg Krapivin was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months of imprisonment. However, Article 70 of the Criminal Code was applied in his case, meaning his sentence was deemed conditional with a 6-month probation period. Konstantin Kucher was acquitted of the charge under Article 178.4 but was found guilty under Article 221.3 and sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison.
The public prosecutor requested that Konstantin Kucher be sentenced to 14 years in prison and Oleg Krapivin to 3 years.
Note that "Oleg Bakinsky" was detained by the police in Baku last year on charges of hooliganism against a Russian citizen. He was charged with a final charge under Articles 127.2.3 (Intentional infliction of less serious harm to health, committed in a generally dangerous manner or with hooligan intent) and 221.3 (Hooliganism committed with the use of weapons or objects used as weapons, accompanied by the use of force against the victim, or the destruction or damage of another person’s property) of the Criminal Code. The preventive measure of arrest chosen for him during the preliminary investigation was replaced with a preventive measure of house arrest during the trial.
Along with Oleg Bakinsky, Konstantin Antonovich Kucher, who served as Deputy Minister of Defense Industry of Ukraine for Aviation Affairs in 2010-2011, is also found guilty in the criminal case. He is charged under Articles 178.4 (fraud, especially when committed with causing large-scale damage) and 221.3 (hooliganism, committed with the use of weapons or objects used as weapons, accompanied by the use of force against the victim, or the destruction or damage of another person's property) of the Criminal Code.
The victims are "Aviazapchast" OJSC, "Promyshlennye Postavki Kazakhstan" LLC, and Zakharenkov Valery Nikolayevich.
