On 20/03/2023 Leonid Karpov made a comment on the pages of the Advocates’ Gazette regarding the Cassation Ruling in case No. 78-UD22-36-K3 of 16/02/2023, by which the Supreme Court of Russia cancelled judgments of lower instances and terminated proceedings, during which the court of appeal imputed to the convicted person the legal consequences of actions not established in the indictment and sentence.
Leonid Karpov, a leading attorney of L&P’s criminal law practice, emphasized that the change in the qualification of the crime allowed the court of cassation to form an important legal position, according to which citizens are prohibited from being held accountable for crimes that were not imputed to them.
