The court released the ex-Colonel of the GRU, Vladimir Kvachkov
The Zubovo-Polyansky Court of Mordovia confirmed this information. Court press secretary Tatyana Badyashkina reported that the court granted the petition of the lawyer of the convict and issued an order to release Kvachkov from punishment, since the first part of Article 282 (extremism) ceased to be a criminal offense. According to the second article of the prosecution (for organizing the rebellion), the term of punishment has already expired.
If, within ten days, the prosecutor's office does not appeal against the court ruling, Vladimir Kvachkov will leave prison No. 5 in Mordovia, where he is serving his sentence.
Recall that in 2005, Kvachkov was arrested on charges of attempting to assassinate Anatoly Chubais, the head of RAO UES of Russia, but in 2008, he was acquitted by a jury. In 2010, the Supreme Court of Russia upheld this decision, but the very next day after the publication of this decision, Kvachkov was arrested in a new case on the preparation of a revolt. In 2013, he was sentenced to 13 years in a penal colony, but subsequently the Supreme Court softened the sentence, reducing the sentence to eight years.
In August, the Volga District Military Court in Samara sentenced Vladimir Kvachkov to a year and six months in prison under article 2017 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation 1 (“Incitement of hatred or hostility, as well as humiliation of human dignity”) because of a recorded video message to other prisoners. In the aggregate of punishments for two sentences, Kvachkov was appointed two years with the expiration of the August 282 term of the 17 year.
