A resident of Ufa went to the colony in 1959 because of someone else’s crime, he was able to prove it and sued the state for 31 million rubles. This was reported by Mash Batash.
A Ufa resident was sentenced to 13 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. During this time, he lost his wife and parents, the source reported.
The man served his sentence, was released from prison, and began a long struggle to prove his innocence. However, in 2012, one of the witnesses in the case confessed everything, but the prosecution closed the case again.
The unjustly convicted pensioner appealed to the Constitution, the Sixth Supreme Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Russia. As a result, the decision was overturned in May, and now the Leninsky court decided to pay the Ufa resident 31 million rubles in compensation.
Earlier, after 23 years in Bashkiria, the case of the murder and rape of an 83-year-old woman by a teenager was solved.
