Today, February 7, the court will consider the petition of the “right hand” of Zakhar Kalashov to replace the strict regime penal colony with a colony-settlement.
First, Andrey Kochuykov tried to get out on parole, then he asked for the replacement of the unserved term with a milder form of punishment. Time will tell what decision the court will make this time.
Earlier, Andrey Kochuykov faced a small problem. Human rights activists published evidence of torture in the Kaluga correctional colony No. 3. They stated that the convicts, collaborating with the administration of the institution, beat Mikhail Smirnov to death. They began to check the institution, and they began to put pressure on Kochuykov in the colony. According to rumors, since he is the most influential among the convicts, it is he who must convince the prisoners to give “correct” testimony on the subject of torture.
ZAKHAR KALASHOV DOES NOT GIVE UP POSITION EVEN IN THE COLONY
A friend and patron of Andrei Kochuykov, thief in law Zakhar Kalashov went to a colony for extortion. Later, the so-called “anti-theft” article appeared in Russia, suggesting responsibility for occupying the highest position in the criminal hierarchy. The presence of criminal responsibility complicates the “work” of criminal groups in Russia, but they still continue to exist. Moreover, while in the colony, Zakhar Kalashov continues to clash with Merab Dzhangveladze and resolve important issues. According to rumors, Armenian authorities recently turned to Kalashov with a request to help in one dispute. Dzhangveladze was outraged by this situation, because he considers himself a leader in the so-called thieves’ emigration of Europe.
As a result, this story ended with the fact that close supporters of Merab Dzhangveladze allegedly went over to the side of Zakhar Kalashov. According to reports, this was also done by Mindia Goradze, who had previously taken a leading position among the Belarusian thieves in law.
