[KavkazUzel] Ten former police officers convicted in the case of death after interrogation at the police department of North Ossetia resident Vladimir Tskayev, demanded from the appellate instance to acquit them, Zemfira Tskayeva said today. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote in August, Zemfira, the widow of Vladimir Tskayev,  appealed against the  sentences of ten former police officers convicted in the case of her husband's death, demanding that their punishment be tougher. The convicts also filed appeals, insisting on an acquittal. The Supreme Court of North Ossetia, where today began consideration of complaints against the verdict of police officers convicted in the case of the death of Vladimir Tskayev, closed the process to the press. On July 28, the court sentenced the 10 police officers charged in the Tskayev case to sentences ranging from two to ten and a half years, although the prosecutor asked for them to be imprisoned for six to thirteen years. All the condemned in the last word declared their innocence. The siloviki did not manage to hush up the case of Tskayev's death, and the court ruled on the real terms of imprisonment due to a wide response, the journalists interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" said. Tskayeva noted the impartiality of the judge. "He did not stand on ceremony with anyone: neither with the side of the convicts, nor with us," her words are quoted on the website of the publication. The next session of the Supreme Court of North Ossetia on the Tskayev case is scheduled for December 21, Krylya TV reported on its website today. The case was submitted to the Supreme Court of the Republic on November 22, it follows from the case card on the court's website. Let us remind you that the trial in the case of Tskayev's death lasted more than two years. According to Zemfira Tskayeva, the defense of the defendants dragged out the process in every possible way - out of 143 hearings that were to take place, 73 were postponed because of the defendants and their lawyers. |
