Fresh Take:
Parole Granted to Controversial Figure, Victor Konteev, Amidst Ongoing Legal Battles
In a surprising turn of events, the Tagilsky District Court in Nizhny Tagil has granted parole to Victor Konteev, a convict with a rather dubious reputation.
The court's decision was influenced by Konteev's conduct, his advanced age, positive feedback from the prison administration, his charitable endeavors, and the approval of three victims who didn't object to his early release.
With this ruling, Konteev walks out of prison with a significant chunk of his sentence—6 years, 3 months, and 26 days—already served. He had initially been sentenced to 18 years in 2014 for bribery, extortion, and incitement to murder in the Kurgan case, a case for which he maintains his innocence.
However, in 2022, new charges were levied against him in the Sysert case, which accuse him of fraud and attempted murder of a local businessman. Konteev's lawyer, Sergei Kolosovsky, insists his client had no involvement in these incidents.
Despite this, a court in Sysert found Konteev guilty of several charges, increasing his prison term from 18 to 21 years. Upon appeal, this sentence was reduced by one year.
The details of the Sysert case, including charges and subsequent sentences, are somewhat elusive in public sources. It's possible that this case is not widely reported or there might be a mix-up with another case. If you have further details or context, they may help shed light on this enigmatic figure's legal woes.
