Art teacher sentenced to 8 years

8 years in a penal colony - a period of August 10 was a rural teacher and artist Ilya Farber

The verdict affects cruelty: no killing, no one else attempted, not covered by any one's crimes - the person accused of "receiving a bribe" of 300 thousand. Rubles and "abuse of power", and falsely accused. Even the prosecutor admitted Ilya Farber suffer consequences compression fracture of two vertebrae and his two minor children. However, this did not prevent the prosecutor demanded 9 years in prison "strogacha." The judge took pity on the year - 8 years.

"New" is not just written about [next] this matter. ("Son of the Father," see. Number 68 of June 22, 2012 "Do not you pay attention to the words of the defendant," number 73 on July 4, 2012). In short: the artist Ilya Farber moved from Moscow in the Tver region - to teach the children in the village and made moshenki most that neither is a cultural revolution. He taught fine arts and literature, taught the children to build a winter snow slides, organizing discos. Local administration of his activity like so that he was asked to become director of the Culture House, which lasted unsuccessful repair: the subcontractor has delayed the contract. Farber agreed, but, having familiarized with the repair estimates, realized that they were swollen and very poor quality of work performed.

The budget allocated for the repair of the administration of 2, 5 million rubles that were to go to the contractor - organization "Gorstroy-1", it is headed by someone Gorokhov. But Farber had to do part of the work himself, hiring people for the money to buy building materials, go into debt, and even several times to lend to the contractor. Gorokhov promised reimburse expenses. When the work was almost finished, Gorokhov Farber called the office - say, for debt, asked to sign an act of acceptance of work, given the debt - 132 600 rubles, and the output Ilya FSB officers detained in Tver. It turned out Gorokhov wrote a statement about the extortion.

The prosecution: Farber received from the subcontractor 300 thousand rubles for the opportunity to continue the work, and then - still about 132 thousand rubles for the signing of the act. But, according to the prosecution, the work was carried out not in full, and to sign the act, Farber has caused damage to the budget in the amount of 941,000 rubles.

Farber was arrested in September 2011. The editorial came his eldest son - 18-year-old Peter, with all the documents, including: the bloated before the arrival Farber estimates and expertise, appointed by the result (about which is the consequence then decided to forget), according to which a subcontractor Gorokhov "unfinished "Club for at least 1 million rubles.

Peter himself suffered from this case: he was lured to his employees Tver FSB, took his passport and perpetrate questioning, asking him to testify against his father. Peter refused - he was searched, seized laptop and iPhone, and became, in the words of the boys threatened him: taken to the bullpen, where stay "for identification" and "you can stay there for ever." Then - beaten, handcuffed and continued to demand evidence, threatening torture. Peter survived - a silent (or rather, as can be "just" in this situation?).

June 19, 2012 in Tver, began the process of a jury. It took less than a week and was "peculiar": communication with prosecutors and judges jury appeared normal behavior (witnesses - journalists and the public). Judge Vladimir Andreev did not even removed the jury deliberation room to reach a verdict, and asked the audience to go out. In addition to the 12-member jury room for some reason and there are still 4 replacement. All along, apparently, and verdict.

Defendant Ilya Farber was not allowed either to drawing up questions for the board or to the disclosure of the questionnaire and the opening statement to the jury ... And then the defendant was not allowed at all - on the announcement of the verdict.

Now for the verdict. The judge advised the jury in his summing-to ignore the testimony of the defendant. Result: 8 out of 12 (or is it 16?) The jury found Farber "guilty" and "not deserving of leniency».

In mid-July the judge Andreev had to call the period to which it condemns Farber. But there were a lot of journalists and the public - the judge opened the meeting, but a minute later it shut, citing the fact that the defendant's lawyer (Ilya was a defender on purpose - old woman of God dandelion, which is in awe listening to the prosecutor's office) suddenly had a "hypertensive crisis" and without a protector, they say, no way. (From a normal lawyer Farber previously refused, hoping to handle around itself). However, in August, journalists and the public it is even more. And the judge (can be, I will use unparliamentary value judgment?), Just - described - it is without mandatory in such cases, the decision is simple all - and journalists, and the public - expelled from the hall. We have not heard the last word nor Ilya Farber, nor the judge read the sentence. He expels our convoy - as best he could - not mince words.

Before us, members of the media and the audience, kicked, we had only to listen to the current director of "victim" citizen recreation Fokine. Winking to the prosecutor, she told that after Farber club "sustained substantial damage" and now complained Fokina, they even "nothing to do repair of the roof and the ceiling." "For these purposes we need a million rubles!" - She sighed. And this one million, according to her, has appropriated Farber. The role of the very contractor Gorokhov Ms. Fokina never touched ...

Prosecutor Pavel Vereshchagin, which we also managed to hear, said: "The acts committed by Farber, are of particular concern", "the matter of corruption," and "Farber thus questioned and undermined the authority of the government." "To recover, - said the character, with Faber - 4 million." From this figure, if the "damage", according to the case file - 941 thousand rubles?

Probably, such a sum was formed because of the special abilities of the prosecutor, who said on the record he personally heard the crunch sent the money - "This is crunch banknotes, I counted 30 crunches for 5000," - he said to the jury ...

But back to the sentence. Lawyer Farber intended - the same God dandelion - all these for some new fines was silent as a fish in water, but asked the court still did not appoint a person suffering from back pain, the punishment of imprisonment, and we consider that it is a sincere intentions came to the village, but still, they say, spoiled the ill-fated House of Culture ...

And then the judge has deigned to allow the hall of Elijah to the process said on his last word.

 - I'll tell you the main thing that you want me to say ... In my eyes, all present here the audience is witnessing the commission of a crime ... - I tried to say the last word of the defendant, but the judge cut him off.

 - I interrupt you, Farber!

Someone in the audience quietly indignant: "Man has the right to the last word».

 - And now all those present leave the room, - hissed Judge Andreev, and the court clerk announced that the verdict will not be allowed one. "Pash, come!" - She called the prosecutor and closed the door behind him.

A few minutes later we found out: Ilya Farber not only sentenced to 8 years in a strict regime, but also to a fine of 3, 2 million rubles ...

P.S. The family of the convicted person, whose financial condition is poor, unable to find a normal lawyer - not on purpose. Today, this lawyer has filed an appeal against the short sentence. "New" will monitor developments.
