In Kirovo-Chepetsk, a man was sentenced for the death of a four-year-old girl from a falling branch of an emergency tree.
Let us remind you that in July last year in Kirovo-Chepetsk, a terrible incident occurred at house No. 3 on Lermontov Street: a broken tree branch fell on a 4-year-old girl. The child died on the spot. It should be noted that the tree required immediate sanitary pruning (cutting).
The 40-year-old former director of the municipal government institution "Road Maintenance Service" in Kirovo–Chepetsk did not take proper measures to carry out sanitary pruning of the poplar, which posed a threat to the life and health of citizens, as well as to exclude people's access to this tree. At the same time, the man knew that the tree was dangerous: employees of the local administration informed the MCU about an emergency poplar branch located in close proximity to the pedestrian zone. In this regard, a criminal case was opened against him under Part 2 of Article 293 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (negligence resulting in the death of a person by negligence).
The UK investigators managed to collect exhaustive evidence incriminating the convicted person in the commission of the alleged act. The court sentenced him to one year in prison. However, the court applied the provisions of Article 53.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and, as an alternative, replaced the imposed punishment with forced labor for the same period, withholding part of the earnings from the defendant's salary to the state income. In addition, the defendant was given an additional punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to hold positions in the civil service and in local government bodies related to the exercise of the functions of a government representative, organizational, administrative and economic powers, for a period of one year, according to the regional prosecutor's office and the investigative committee.
