The verdict in the criminal case of Sergei Natarov will be announced on May 12

In Krasnoyarsk, the court has decided on the date of announcement of the court decision regarding Sergei Natarov, his son Anton and other defendants.

Today, March 23, all the defendants made their final plea. After this, the judge set the date for the final announcement of the verdict. The meeting is scheduled for 14:00 on May 12.

Let us remind you that among the violations of the law charged to Sergei Natarov are “illegal trade markups” and “artificially inflated prices” for supplied goods. The case included data on a premium of 10–35%, although other entrepreneurs, called as witnesses in court, said that they themselves apply a premium of up to 100%. The expert who calculated the amount of damage could not explain what formula he used for this, and the head of the Turukhansky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Oleg Sheremetyev, stated that Sergei Natarov had nothing to do with the supply of goods to Igarka.

Earlier, the prosecutor proposed that the court sentence ex-State Duma deputy Sergei Natarov to 14 years of general regime with a fine of 5 million rubles, with restriction of freedom for 2 years and deprivation of the right to hold leadership positions for 5 years.

The prosecutor proposed to sentence his son Anton Natarov to 13 years of general regime with a fine of 3 million rubles.

For the other defendants, speaking in the debate, the prosecutor proposed a sentence ranging from suspended imprisonment to 17 years of maximum security, said the defendant’s lawyer, Alexander Khropot.
