Tverskoy District Court of Moscow sentenced former municipal deputy Ketevan Kharaidze to four years in a general regime colony on charges of fraud in an especially large amount.
Consensus
- Ketevan Kharaidze was sentenced to four years in prison by the Tver District Court of Moscow for fraud in an especially large amount.
- The court credited the time Kharaidze spent in pre-trial detention (SIZO) and under house arrest toward her sentence.
- Kharaidze was released from the courtroom immediately after the verdict.
- The case was originally decided in December 2022, but in March 2024, the appellate court annulled the verdict and sent the case for retrial.
- The case is linked to a conflict between a developer and residents over construction on Fadеev Street, Moscow, in 2021.
- Kharaidze was involved in opposing the construction project and was planning to run for the State Duma in 2021.
- She did not admit guilt and claimed the case was fabricated, tied to her activism and political ambitions.
- The court ordered Kharaidze to pay 5 million rubles to the representative of the construction company 'Apt-Project' as part of a civil claim.
- Kharaidze was initially detained in 2021, shortly before the State Duma elections.
- The case was reviewed again after a change of judge and her pre-trial measures were changed from detention to house arrest and then to a ban on certain actions.
