MOSCOW, October 12 - RIA Novosti. The Supreme Court of Russia recognized as legal the decision to give consent to initiate a criminal case against the judge of the Kyzyl City Court, Aziyana Mongush, who was suspected of issuing an order to arrest the defendant without a court hearing, the department’s press service reported.

In July, the High Qualification Board of Judges agreed to initiate a criminal case against Judge Mongush due to suspicions of issuing a deliberately unfair judicial act. The judge challenged the decision in the Supreme Court.

“The highest court recognized the contested decision as legal and justified,” the statement said.

According to the Supreme Court, Mongush issued a resolution with information about a fictitious court hearing, at which, allegedly at the request of the state prosecutor, a decision was made to suspend the proceedings and change the measure of restraint for the defendant to detention and putting her on the wanted list. The appeal overturned this decision, citing gross violations of procedural law.

Mongush admitted that she made a mistake and negligence, for which she has already been disciplined. At the same time, the judge stated that the attempt to criminally prosecute her was related to her professional activities, but could not confirm this.
