Investigators were surprised by today’s evidence given by Alexander Yevtukhov during the process, when he did not recognize the accused as the killer who shot Yuri Budanov. The day before that, Yevtukhov gave testimonies on video saying that in January 2013 the Temerkhanov’s lawyer Darya Trenina called him and offered to meet and discuss his testimonies in the court. Now Yevtukhov lives in Novosibirsk. Yevtukhov agreed and the lawyer arrived in Novosibirsk and met with the witness in a hotel. Trenina offered Yevtukhov to state confidently in the court that the killer had blonde hair and was a Slav, not a Caucasian. For that Trenina promised Yevtukhov to pay for his trip to Moscow and back and 100 thousand rubles more. Yevtukhov agreed and Trenina at once in one of Novosibirsk banks transferred 50 thousand rubles to Yevtukhov’s bank card and 50 thousand rubles more when arrived in Moscow. On 14 January, Trenina met Yevtukhov in the Sheremetyevo airport and gave him a lift to Moscow city court, where they picked up another Temerkhanov’s lawyer Murad Musayev. He wanted to show Yevtukhov a photo of the accused on his computer, however he failed due to technical reasons - the computer would not boot.
All these testimonies were checked and registered as part of a pre-investigating check into attempted bribery for knowingly false testimonies. This is confirmed by bank documents on the money transfer and other data. Now during the pre-investigative check investigators are going to qualify the Yevtukhov’s actions, which may be qualified as giving knowingly false testimonies.
As for Musayev’s claim that the money had been transferred to Yevtukhayev to pay for the flight and his living in Moscow, the lawyer apparently realized that it was impossible to destroy the traces of money transfer and came up with a poor attempt to excuse the banal bribe. First, the tickets had been bought in advance and the witness was to live in Moscow only one day. 100 thousand rubles is too big a sum for that. But even this is not the main point. The main thing is that all expenses of the witness connected with participating in the process are paid by state. And if the witness could be not aware of that, the lawyers knew it perfectly well. By the way, the lawyer Musayev had defended the accused in cases over his sexual abuses of children. The accused had been acquitted. In that process the witnesses had also changed their testimonies. In this connection investigators are going to get back to this and check carefully the reasons why witnesses changed their testimonies.
