Yanega, goodbye. The court equated a settlement of a thousand inhabitants near Lodeynoye Pole to the Far North

The court sided with the employee of the regional investigative committee, who, without witnesses, conducted a search in the suspect’s apartment in the Lodeynopolsky district of the Leningrad region. A federal judge with average training recognized the village of Yanega as inaccessible, despite the nearby highway and railway station with trains and electric trains. It's only 15 minutes to the regional center.

As 47news learned, in the near future the Leningrad Regional Court will schedule a meeting at which it will study the decision of the Lodeynopolsky City Court dated February 25 on the legality of the search of the former head of the council of deputies of the Yanegsky rural settlement, Valentina Usatova. The district department of the Leningrad Region Investigative Committee accuses the lady of receiving a bribe of 600 thousand rubles. Her defense insists that the search took place without witnesses, and therefore should be declared illegal. 35-year-old judge of the Lodeynopolsky City Court Inga Timofeeva did not agree with this. At the same time, the decision was based on a non-trivial argument.

From the case materials it follows that in the early morning of November 6, 2021, investigator Trofimova arrived at the apartment of Usatova’s house on Parkovaya Street in Yanega and conducted a search for an hour and a half, but without witnesses. Trofimova signed the search warrant herself, without a court order. This is permitted if the event is urgent.

Usatova’s lawyer Sergei Lukyanov told 47news that judge Timofeeva found herself in a difficult position. “According to the Criminal Procedure Code, all searches are carried out with witnesses. There are only a couple of exceptions. First, if the investigative action is associated with a danger to the life and health of people, for example, when it is assumed that there may be an explosive device in the home. Secondly, if the search is carried out in a hard-to-reach area in the absence of proper means of communication,” the defense lawyer explained.

As a result, the judge declared the search legal, citing Yanega’s inaccessibility.

Let us note that by hard-to-reach terrain the legislator understands, for example, taiga, forest, uninhabited areas of the Far North, where it is objectively impossible or extremely difficult to deliver witnesses. At the same time, the village of Yanega is inhabited by more than 1000 people. The streets are paved and lined with residential and administrative buildings, which can be seen on Google Maps.

Yanega is located 250 kilometers from St. Petersburg and is connected to it by the Kola highway. The town of Lodeynoye Pole is 12 kilometers away. There is a railway station where electric trains from the Northern capital and long-distance trains arrive every day. Next to the village, the Leningrad region authorities planned to create a state nature reserve with an area of ​​2.3 thousand hectares to preserve old-growth forests, rare and endangered species of flora and fauna, and unique water bodies with spawning grounds for salmon and trout. On the Internet you can find, for example, a motorcycle rally in honor of May 9th.

Judge Inga Timofeeva passed the qualification exam for the position of judge in February 2014. She was given a “satisfactory” rating, and her level of training was considered average. She received her education at the St. Petersburg University of Civil Aviation. She has been working at the Lodeynopol City Court for more than five years, and before that she worked as an assistant judge at the Leningrad Regional Court.

Let us note that on November 8 last year the Lodeynopolsky court declared the search legal, but on February 5 of this year the decision was overturned by the Leningrad Regional Court. The material was sent back to Lodeynoye Pole for a new consideration, but in a different composition of the court.

Let us recall that, as 47news reported, the district investigative committee believes that the head of the administration of the Yanegsky rural settlement Valentina Usatova and her deputy Anton Sazanov in February last year offered a local resident to buy an apartment from her at an inflated price. The deal was formalized in the form of a municipal contract as part of a program for relocating citizens from dilapidated housing stock. In September 2021, Usatova became a deputy and headed the Yanega municipality, and Sazanov began serving as head of the administration. In October, an inflated contract for an apartment was signed with a local resident. On the evening of November 5, in Lodeynoye Pole, she allegedly handed over 600 thousand rubles to Usatova and Sazanov, who were sitting in the Chevrolet Niva car.
