The former head of the correctional colony IK-7 in Karelia Sergei Kossiev, convicted in the case of abuse of power, was released ahead of schedule, informs Mediazona.
In 2019, the Segezha City Court sentenced Kossiev to 2.6 years in a general regime colony for abuse and abuse of office (part 1 of article 285 of the Criminal Code, article 286 of the Criminal Code).
On parole, the former head of IK-7 came out in April last year, the journalists found out. Until December 2021, he is prohibited from leaving the Segezha District. Mediazona clarifies that now Kossiev lives with his wife and children in Segezha, works as a taxi driver.
The silovik spent only six months in the colony – a year, two months and six days less than the prescribed period. After sentencing in January 2019, Kossiev was in a pre-trial detention center 300 meters from his house for several months. He was transferred to the colony only in the fall of 2019, after the appeal of the lawyer of the victims.
In May last year, Anatoly Luist, the former deputy of Kossiev in IK-7, was also released. In the spring of 2019, he was sentenced to three years in prison – in addition to abuse of power, his tried for receiving a bribe “in the form of shoes”.
Mediazona spoke with the victims in the Kossiev case – the court had to take their opinion into account when considering the issue of parole. According to them, they were not notified of this decision. Luist said that he “does not want to know anything about Kossiev and does not understand why he was imprisoned.” IC employees accused in the fact that in 2016 they sent well-to-do prisoners to “jobs where hard labor was used”, demanding a bribe to relax the regime.
This Karelian colony contained civil activist Ildar Dadin, the first in Russia convicted under the article on multiple violations of the rules of conduct at rallies (Article 212.1 of the Criminal Code). In 2016 he told about torture in the penal colony, in which the head Kossiev also participated. The reports of torture and beatings were confirmed by other prisoners and their family members. Despite this, the Federal Penitentiary Service and the Investigative Committee did not find any violations based on the results of the inspections.
