Information appeared on the network that the criminal case against the director of Goryachiy Klyuch school No. 1, Larisa Neverova, may be groundless. The woman was charged with bribery after a parent of one of the school’s students recalled the alleged money transfer episode two years later. Formally, the bribe of 30,000 rubles charged to the director has never been proven. At the same time, the honored teacher from Russia was arrested and placed in a remand center.
After a noisy discussion of the situation newspaper “The arguments of the week” talked about another act of alleged arbitrariness on the part of the police. The publication was approached by two residents of the Crimean region – Vladimir Vakulenko and Pavel Cherkesov. They have been trying, in their own words, for more than a decade to prove that they were victims of the hunt for “werewolves in uniform”, illegally detained and convicted for allegedly using false receipts for accommodation at the hotel. At the same time, the men were convicted only for providing false documents, but not for embezzlement of budget funds. The fate of this money remained a mystery.
Both men in 2007-2008 then served in the police, in the Crimean Police Department. They studied in absentia at a branch of the law academy near Novorossiysk. The police received money from the cash desk of the accommodation and food department at the study site, and after the session they received receipts from the contractor for payment of accommodation and handed over the documents to the accountant, who checked the papers and compiled a preliminary report. This continued until 2009, when the regional CSS discovered forgeries in the reporting documents and criminal charges were brought against police students. The men believe that at their expense, the police have decided to improve the detection rates of corruption offenses within the ranks of the Ministry of the Interior.
The two ex-police officers believe that their criminal proceedings were based on the violation of their rights and serious procedural flaws, including illegal detention for more than two months. It should be noted that the court found them guilty of using false documents, but the harm caused to the state was not established. For more than 13 years, Vakulenko and Cherkesov have written to various authorities in an attempt to have the case reconsidered. So far, the men have only received responses or denials to bring criminal charges against officials who have authorized their allegedly illegal criminal charges.
