The law firm of the Sverdlovsk region will not provide lawyers on November 1 from the appointment of the state, Rossiyskaya Gazeta. Despite the current articles of the Russian Code of Criminal Procedure, defense lawyers will suspend their participation in criminal proceedings until maturity of arrears. The total debt of the Department of the Judicial Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Sverdlovsk Region before the lawyers of the region is about 17 million rubles.

This forced decision may adversely affect the work of judicial and investigative bodies, since, according to the Code of Criminal Procedure, all investigative actions should be conducted only in the presence of a lawyer. Also, without a lawyer, one can not consider criminal cases in seduction.

According to Andrei Mitin, President of the Sverdlovsk Region Bar Association, this step was taken, since no one noticed their treatment.

"For our part, we have done everything possible to solve the problem peacefully. On this issue, the Council of the Federal Chamber of Attorneys appealed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Government more than once, but was never heard. As a way out of the situation, we propose to pledge funds for lawyers' payment with a protected budget line, as it was before, "said Andrei Mitin.

The lingering structures, in turn, assure that they will soon pay off their lawyers on the bills.

"We recognize the debt and do not refuse to pay. The delay in payments was due to late receipt of funds from the budget. We have already paid 60 million, and to date, our debt is 11 million rubles, "explained the head of the department of the judicial department of the Sverdlovsk region Oleg Nozhnikov The remaining 6 million regional governors promised to return within November.

"A letter of guarantee was received from Moscow on the allocation in November of this year of funds for the repayment of debts in full. Therefore, I would like to reassure the lawyers' community, "said Valery Gorelykh, head of the department of information and public relations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Sverdlovsk region..
