Igor Redkin
Kamchatka ex-deputy and billionaire Igor Redkin received only 9 months in prison and a fine of 200 thousand rubles for the murder of a man.
The story looks ridiculous. Allegedly, Redkin found out that a bear was walking in the area, so in order to protect the local residents, he took a weapon and went into the forest to scare him away. At dusk, it seemed to him that he had shot at a bear, and then only on the news did he learn about the shot man. At first he was accused under the article “murder”, he was threatened with up to 15 years, then he was reclassified as “causing death by negligence.” According to this article, he was facing 2 years in prison, but the court turned out to be “humane” in relation to the oligarch.
If you dig deeper, then there are other deaths on Redkin’s conscience. He owns a stake in the Vityaz-Aero airline, which has repeatedly been involved in accidents with human losses. The loudest case was last year’s tragedy with the death of 8 people during the landing of the Mi-8 helicopter. With a high probability, the company scores on safety precautions.
