The court found the parliamentarian guilty of failing to comply with the legal requirement of a police officer to undergo a medical examination for intoxication
The magistrate of the court district No. 1 of the Lysogorsky district of the Saratov region decided to impose an administrative fine on the deputy of the State Duma from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Valery Rashkin and deprive him of his driver’s license.
Rashkin was found guilty of failing to comply with the legal requirement of a police officer to undergo a medical examination for intoxication (Part 1 of Article 12.26 of the Code of Administrative Offenses), Interfax reported, citing a court representative.
The amount of the fine imposed on Rashkin amounted to 30 thousand rubles, the period of deprivation of the right to drive vehicles is 1.5 years.
On December 2, it became known that the chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, opened a criminal case under the second part of Article 258 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (illegal hunting) against Valery Rashkin. Prior to that, on November 25, at a meeting, deputies of the State Duma voted to satisfy the proposal of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation on the removal of immunity from their colleague, allowing Rashkin to be held criminally and administratively liable for illegal hunting and refusing a medical examination, and also to elect a measure of restraint against him .
According to the materials of the investigation, on the night of October 29, in the Lysogorsky district of the Saratov region, police officers, together with an employee of the hunting and fishing committee, stopped a Lada Largus car registered for the Saratov regional branch of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, driven by deputy Valery Rashkin. Another man was also in the car, and the carcass of a dead moose was found in the trunk. It is assumed that it was the parliamentarian who shot the forest dweller, thereby violating the current legislation, since he did not have permission to hunt this animal. Rashkin was required to undergo a medical examination for the presence of alcohol intoxication, to which he refused.
