The court gave five years to the colony of Bashkirova, who knocked down three children on the march in Moscow
The one who knocked down three children on the march in Moscow was sentenced to five years in a colony in the Solntsevsky District Court. On Monday, November 15, the representative of the Moscow prosecutor's office Lyudmila Nefedova told Lente.ru about this.
In addition, 18-year-old Valeria Bashkirova will be deprived of her driver's license for 2.5 years. The prosecutor's office previously asked for the defendant six years' imprisonment and deprivation of a driver's license for three years.
A student Bashkirova hit three children while driving a Mazda on July 16. They crossed the road with two adults on an unregulated crossing. Two children died in the hospital as a result of the collision. Initially, Bashkirova was under house arrest, but later the investigation asked the court to send the girl to a pre-trial detention center. On October 7, the court extended this measure of restraint for her.
Bashkirova pleaded guilty and said that she had run over pedestrians crossing the road on a zebra crossing, as she was simultaneously driving and “sitting on the phone”. The girl was charged under Part 5 of Article 264 (“Violation of traffic rules by a person driving a car, resulting in the death of two persons by negligence”) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The maximum punishment under this article is imprisonment for up to 7 years.
