Although the expert concluded that the accused suffers from chronic alcoholism and needs compulsory treatment.
On 03.03.2023, the appeal was considered and the verdict came into force.

| 09.09.2023 | Денис никогда не выступал против власти. На митинги не ходил. В тот день он возвращался с работы, а накануне его только выпустили с суток за избиение жены (сыновья вызвали наряд). А тут рядом в форме падает сотрудник. Вот и пнул его - выместил злость. Приговор суда 9 лет строгого режима. Направлен отбывать в Оршу. 08.09.2023 вышел по УДО с подписанным контактом с ЧВК и отправка в Украину. Никакой он не политический заключенный, а наемник в рядах ВС РФ и предатель. |
