On July 16, 2021, Valeria, traveling along Aviatorov Street in a Mazda car, struck children aged nine months, three and four years old at a crosswalk. Two victims died in the hospital. & Nbsp;
What was the court verdict?
The Solntsevsky District Court sentenced Bashkirova to five years in prison, serving his sentence in a colony-colony. The court also deprived her of the right to engage in driving-related activities for a period of two years and six months.
In addition, the prosecutor ordered Bashkirova to fully satisfy the victims' civil demands, according to the monitoring authority's Telegram channel. The court partially satisfied the civil claims of the victims & mdash; 2 million rubles for each parent in compensation for moral damage caused by the crime. In addition, the convicted person will have to pay 50,000 rubles to pay for the services of victims' representatives.
Previously, the public prosecutor's office requested that Valeria Bashkirova be sentenced to six years in prison. The public prosecutor asked the court to deprive Bashkirova of the right to drive vehicles for three years and to fully satisfy the civil claims of the victims (the amount of these claims has not been specified).
The verdict has not yet entered into force. & Nbsp;
According to the Telegram channel Mash, the girl fully admitted her guilt and repented. According to his lawyer, the Bashkirova family paid the victims more than 2.3 million rubles in moral damages.
Why was the culprit of the accident initially placed under house arrest? & nbsp;
This measure of restraint was chosen by the Nikulinsky court in Moscow. According to a representative of the prosecutor's office, the court granted the inquiry's request to choose preventive measure in the form of house arrest against Valeria Bashkirova, accused under Part 3 of Article 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (violation of the traffic code, resulting in the death of a person through negligence). Preventive measure in the form of house arrest was chosen due to the fact that the crime was not intentional. However, after the death of the second child in the hospital, the prosecutor's office asked the police to reclassify the charges and strengthen the preventive measure.
