The defendant has a son and a daughter. After the divorce, the children stayed with their mother. According to the court ruling, since October 2012, the defendant is obliged to pay alimony to the woman monthly, but he did it irregularly, in connection with which a significant debt was formed. Employees of the enforcement department repeatedly warned the man about responsibility, but he did not attach any importance to their words.

As a result, another criminal case was opened against him. The defendant fully admitted guilt in the court hearing, saying that he did not pay alimony due to the fact that he had not worked anywhere for a long time.

- The accused is currently nowhere officially employed, previously three times brought to criminal responsibility for theft, theft by modifying computer information and illegal without the purpose of marketing trafficking in prohibited substances, — said the assistant prosecutor of the Zavodsk district Nikita Shvedov. The court found him guilty of committing a crime under Part 1 of Art. 174 of the Criminal Code ("avoidance of parents from the maintenance of children or from reimbursement of expenses spent by the state for the maintenance of children who are or were on state support"), and imposed a punishment of one year of restriction of freedom without sending them to an open-type correctional institution. In addition, the accused must undergo compulsory treatment for chronic alcoholism.
