Who tried to find the killers of Vlad Listyev


In March 1995 a criminal case on murder of Vlad Listyev Moscow Prosecutor's Office filed, but almost immediately took to his investigation of Prosecutor General of Russia.

So-called point of no return result broke the March 1, 2005. By acting at the time of the crime editorial Criminal statute of limitations for very serious crimes, namely in this category include murder, was 10 years. Subsequently, the legislature increased it to 15 years. But even if the law was retroactive, then as of today, the organizers and perpetrators of attacks on a journalist can safely roam freely.

"Now the investigation can last indefinitely, but it is clear that the murderer will not face punishment, - said Igor GZT.RU Yartyh, defending the main accused in the murder of journalist Dmitry Kholodov Paul Popovsky .- If the individual and the perpetrators of these people detained, then of the indictment, after which the investigator would rule on the failure of their criminal responsibility for the lapse of time.

At the same time, said counsel, the accused has the right to refuse such an interchange and proceed to trial.

"Prescription no rehabilitative circumstance and the man fell under the rule, is still under suspicion. Because of his innocence, as well as wine, have not been proven, - has specified Igor Yartyh .- And considering that this case is loud and political consequence for him to continue, because no one wants to admit that he can not reveal. Although in essence they are likely, no one does. There are two options: either with the investigators have no data, or involved in the murder of Listyev person installed, but for some reason, bring them to court is not appropriate.

Sluggish result
It is worth noting that over 15 years of investigation, the staff of the Prosecutor General, and then the UPC Russia had never reported a breakthrough in the investigation. In April last year investigation of the case altogether suspended, and at the end of the year at the investigation team for the fourth time was replaced by the head.

"I believe that the killer Vlad in any case not be punished, no matter what time limits were not, and no matter how much changed investigators - confessed to a correspondent GZT.RU, colleague Listyev on" The View "journalist Dmitry Zakharov .- All the original so investigated, so as not to be found. In this case it was a murder not a journalist, a top manager, with the massacre of senior administrator, as such crimes usually are not open. The murderers of John F. Kennedy, too, was not found.

There is no reason to dismiss the case
Meanwhile, the UPC Russia said that there was no reason to stop the investigation.

"After the formation in 2007, the Investigative Committee of the criminal case was transferred to the Central Investigation Department. Despite the fact that the preliminary investigation of the criminal case was not renewed, however, continuously and systematically by investigators with the criminal police officers continue to work towards a discovery of the crime. And now the investigation has no reason to stop this criminal case ", - explained the official representative of the UPC Russia Vladimir Markin.

But now find those who killed Vlad Listyev only a matter of honor investigators who are trying to find traces of criminals since 1995.

"All this is a waste of time. The train has long gone and the perpetrators of the murder of Vlad Listyev for any outcome of the case will not face the proper punishment "- sure, lawyer Igor Yartyh.

I was hoping that it's still a very high-profile case 90 disclose!

But even if that happens, the murderer avoids a fundamentalist punishment because the statute of limitations.

On Russia's law:

In the period of limitation does not include the period during which the offender has evaded the investigation and trial.

Moreover, in the Criminal Code clearly states:

Exemption from criminal liability because the statute of limitations.

And further:

The expiry date is calculated from the date of the crime and before the sentence comes into force (Part 2 of Art. 78 of the Criminal Code).

In those cases referred to in the article, no penalty has not been.

[Tana]

Cyril Syzransky Yes, the sentence was not, after all, and defendants do not, no one found!
 I remember the horror, shock, when he was killed, yet VA sheet was a very famous person, so there was hope of finding the killers, but now realize that even if the statute of limitations "remained, the case will remain not disclosed.

Listyev killing money. Journalist "View" Vladimir Mukusev of past and present TV

«Arguments and Facts": - Do you have your own version of why he was killed?

VM: - Vlad killed money. At a regular meeting with the investigator, the leading cause Listyev, asked me: "We know that you were his friend, teacher, colleague. That is, knew him very closely. From a journalist who was in receipt of "view" for the transfer of 40 rubles, a 95-m was only 16 million dollars in cash? "Minutes of advertising time in the" Field of Dreams "was worth 60 to 80 thousand dollars. But such moments in the transfer of eight. But to this or that movie hit the nail on the transfer of the rating, but still going at prime time, advertisers of financial pyramids, for example, had to pay for additional air nalom. According to eyewitnesses, the money in the "Ostankino" then not only carried in their pockets, but also in plastic bags and cardboard boxes. But Listyev killed more than that. Ordered it many-headed television Salieri, who considered a personal affront presence near a light, rapid, successful, wealthy, and certainly a talented Listyev.

All right words, but to the accused to evade investigation, in the investigator's decision should be about bringing a person as a suspect and later as a defendant, and because there is no such order.
So with the time limitations are in order.
