The Krasnodar Regional Court dismissed Judge Yury Zakharchevsky. This was reported by the joint press service of the Kuban courts.
At the end of January, the qualification board of judges of the Krasnodar Territory signed Zakharchevsky's statement. His powers were terminated on February 1.
The day before it became known that the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, plans to initiate two cases against the judge — on violation of traffic rules (clause «b» of part 4 of article 264 of the Criminal Code) and leaving a person in danger (Article 125 of the Criminal Code).
In April 2020, Zakharchenko knocked down cyclist Danila Yukhanov in an SUV and left the scene of the accident. The victim was diagnosed with an open craniocerebral injury and a fracture of the base of the skull. As a result, the 29-year-old Kuban died in the hospital. The traffic police officer found the car of the judge and himself on a nearby street, but did not detain Zakharchevsky.
The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case, but never charged anyone; The documents listed an «unidentified person» as the defendant. In a conversation with Mediazona, Zakharchevsky noted that he was “unpleasant to remember” what had happened. cite__image» alt=»1″ />«You should have seen my the car was damaged!
