"The pretrial agreement worked": Tatarstan's Investigative Committee on the deal with Kamaev

      Deputy Prosecutor of Tatarstan Timur Nuriyev outlined the supervisory agency’s position regarding the punishment of corruption suspects who entered into pre-trial agreements. One of the best-known examples in the republic is the former head of Tukaevsky District, Fail Kamaev. He, it should be recalled, was by court decision sent to a strict-regime penal colony for four years. At the same time, during closing arguments the state prosecution asked that the former official receive seven years’ suspended sentence with a five-year probation period. The verdict provoked widespread public resonance. Lawyers and the prosecution are now appealing the court’s decision.

      Nuriyev noted that cooperation provides the investigation with evidence, names, schemes and chains. However, all information from those wishing to make a deal is thoroughly analyzed and verified. According to him, a pre-trial agreement, when a criminal case defendant reports new episodes and compensates the damage, reduces corruption risk more than if the detainee were simply “silently sitting in a colony.”

      “If a person caught in corruption strikes a deal with the investigation and compensates the damage caused — this is not leniency, it is an instrument that works in the interests of the state and society. Primarily because it exposes not an isolated episode, but the system,” Nuriyev said. “Actual deprivation of liberty is a means, but not the ultimate goal of the state. The ultimate goal of the state is to eliminate the sources of bribery.”

      Deputy head of the Investigative Committee for the republic Marsel Dulkarnayev noted that the institution of pre-trial agreements is working. He positively assessed such cooperation in Kamaev’s case.

      “In this situation, in our view, the pre-trial agreement did indeed work, since its conclusion resulted in information being obtained about other criminals,” Dulkarnayev said.
