The verdict was read out according to a press release

The Russian judicial system has been hit by the biggest scandal in its entire history.

It happened in Vladimir, where the case of veterinarian Olga Tanaeva, accused of selling ketamine, was heard. Last Thursday at 15:00, the Frunzensky Court announced a guilty verdict. Everything would have been fine if the local drug police investigating the case had not distributed a press release about the guilty verdict four hours earlier. Thus, everyone had the feeling that the judge had agreed on the verdict with law enforcement agencies. However, the Federal Drug Control Service assures that they simply guessed the verdict.

For example, lawyer Evgeny Chernousov had serious doubts that the court would pass a guilty verdict. In order to convict Tanayeva, the Vladimir Department of the Federal Drug Control Service resorted to the help of another veterinarian who knew Tanayeva well. At the request of a colleague, Olga Tanayeva sold her, and then the Federal Drug Control Service agent sent after her call, 8 ampoules of ketamine, which was allegedly intended for the treatment of a sick dog. The prosecution witnesses at the trial confirmed that they asked Tanayeva to sell ketamine specifically for performing operations on animals. The accused herself proved that she bought ketamine to treat her own dog and did not "sell" it at all, but sold it exclusively for the treatment of other dogs, for humane reasons. Lawyer Evgeny Chernousov, for whom Olga Tanaeva's case was the fifth "ketamine case" in his practice, stated that "the operational-search activities in Tanaeva's apartment themselves were illegal without a court sanction." He also questioned the findings of the examination, since, in his opinion, "there is no method for extracting dry ketamine from solutions." But the main thing, according to Chernousov, is that "the sale was provoked by employees of the State Drug Control Service." "If there had been no operational-search activities, there would have been no "sale"!" the lawyer insisted. "In my practice, I have encountered the first case where a veterinarian has not been cleared of the charge of selling ketamine," lawyer Evgeny Chernousov told Izvestia. "It's absurd!" These arguments allowed many to assume that the court might acquit Tanaeva. It seems that the defendant herself was hoping for this.

However, this did not happen. Everything happened as it was written in the press release of the Federal Drug Control Service. The court found Olga Tanayeva guilty of selling ketamine and sentenced her to three years of suspended imprisonment. Lawyer Yevgeny Chernousov told Izvestia that he would appeal the verdict, especially since the distribution of the press release of the Federal Drug Control Service, in which Tanayeva was named as a convicted person even before the verdict was passed, "is a compelling reason to overturn it."

The Vladimir Region Department of the Federal Drug Control Service itself explains the incident with the press release by its confidence in the outcome of the case. According to press service employee Svetlana Shashilova, she had no doubts about the guilty verdict simply because she was sure that "all investigative actions were carried out correctly." And the first deputy head of the Vladimir Department of the Federal Drug Control Service Oleg Naumov explained to Izvestia that "this was only one of the options for a press release for the media: the department employees, of course, did not know anything about the court's decision in advance. Distributing a press release is an unreasonable initiative by a department employee." According to Oleg Naumov, "the prosecution was presented at the trial by the prosecutor's office, we only carried out operational-search and investigative measures, and everything contained in the press release is only the opinion of the department."

The events in Vladimir completely discouraged the leadership of the Russian Federal Drug Control Service.

- Yesterday after lunch, the head of the Vladimir department was sitting in my office, and when I remembered this trial, he said that he himself did not yet know the verdict, - the head of the department of interdepartmental and information activities of the Federal Drug Control Service of Russia, Alexander Mikhailov, told Izvestia. - In order to find out, he called there in my presence and found out. Therefore, I do not think that his subordinates could have known about everything in advance and even issued a press release without his approval.

Judge Elena Melkova herself, who announced the scandalous verdict on Thursday, was unavailable for comment yesterday.

The central judicial authorities are also in no hurry to comment on the scandal.

“There is nothing to comment on yet - no documents on this case have been received by the Supreme Court,” Izvestia was told in the Supreme Court. - It is quite possible to assume that the court's verdict was simply guessed.

On December 16, at a session of the Frunzensky Court, which considered the case of Olga Tanaeva, a veterinarian at a subsidiary farm of one of the Vladimir institutions of the Ministry of Justice, the defendant's final statement was heard. In it, Olga Tanaeva, who was charged by the Vladimir prosecutor's office with selling ketamine (Article 228 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), asked the court to declare herself innocent. She emphasized that she was a veterinarian and sold ketamine only at the request of another veterinarian to save animals. Judge Elena Melkova retired to deliberate and began to read out the verdict three hours later.

But even before the judge began to read the verdict, the leading specialist of the information and public relations group of the State Drug Control Department for the Vladimir Region, Svetlana Shashilova, distributed a press release to journalists. Those who got acquainted with it were shocked: a press release from the Office of the Federal Drug Control Service for the Vladimir Region, distributed even before the court verdict, said: “On December 16, the Frunzensky Court of Vladimir passed a guilty verdict against O. Tanaeva, born in 1977, resident of the city of Vladimir, whose case had been investigated since January 2004 and considered in court since April 2004, the court took into account the personality of the defendant, who is characterized positively, has no previous convictions, has a 3rd disability group, and sentenced her to ..” What exact punishment would be imposed on Tanaeva was not indicated in the press release - instead, an ellipsis was added. Nevertheless, the public was perplexed: how could the press service of the State Drug Control Department find out that the verdict would be guilty and not acquittal?
