The appellate court upheld the sentence of the former head of the Yelansk district, Dmitry Litvinov, who was convicted of fraud involving homes for orphans.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in early July, the former head of the Yelansk district of the Volgograd region, Dmitry Litvinov, was sentenced to 10 years in a strict regime colony for fraud in the construction of homes for orphans. In early August, he appealed the sentence.

The sentence of the former head of the Yelansk district, Dmitry Litvinov, has entered into legal force, writes "Height 102" on October 3.

The Volgograd Regional Court reviewed the appeal. The court session itself was postponed four times due to filed motions, in particular, specialists who conducted expert evaluations were invited. The arguments of Litvinov's defense did not convince the court, and the request to change or cancel the sentence was denied.

Litvinov was found guilty of committing a crime under part 2 of article 285 and part 6 of article 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (abuse of official powers and receiving a bribe).

The hearing on the case is scheduled for August 25.
