Residents of Chechnya awarded minimum compensation for illegal criminal prosecution

The Supreme Court of Chechnya reduced the payment of compensation to local resident Salah Vakhaev from 1 million to 150 thousand rubles. The amount is charged for moral damage caused by unlawful criminal prosecution. 

Earlier, the Leninsky Court of Grozny reduced the payment from 1 million to 300 thousand rubles. However, following an appeal by the Ministry of Finance, the Supreme Court of Chechnya cut the amount in half.

Salah Vakhayev’s complaint indicated that in 2006 the Kurchaloevsky District Prosecutor’s Office had initiated criminal proceedings against him on charges of hooliganism and violence. Two years later, the case was dismissed. At the same time, the man was disenfranchised, and his family also suffered.
