The fate of Vyacheslav Vishnevsky, convicted in the case of the fire at the Winter Cherry, has become known.
The co-owner of the shopping center where a fire claimed the lives of many people in 2018 has already been released on parole.
This information was shared by the RIA Novosti agency, which spoke with the human rights activist of the defendant in the case, Vadim Trifonov.
It is noted that the prosecutor's office filed a complaint against Vishnevsky's release on parole, but the Tomsk Regional Court dismissed it.
The verdict of the co-owner of "Winter Cherry"
Vishnevsky was sentenced in 2022. The co-owner of the shopping center where the tragedy occurred was given eight years in prison and was also ordered to pay a large fine of 21 million rubles.
The defendant in the case gave this amount to the former head of the State Construction Supervision Authority of Kuzbass, Tanzila Komkova, in order to obtain permission to put the building into operation.
However, serious violations were committed during its reconstruction.
Subsequently, the fine was increased to 70 million rubles, and Vishnevsky's sentence was softened, sending him to forced labor.
For reference
Conditional early release from punishment (CEP) is the termination of the execution of a criminal punishment associated with the achievement of its goals.
