Resident of Vohma convicted of knowingly false denunciation of car theft

Vokhomsky district court has issued a conviction against a local resident found guilty of committing a crime under part 1 of article 306 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation (knowingly false denunciation of the crime).

In May, the defendant, driving a personal vehicle, became a participant in an accident and left the scene. Wanting to avoid administrative responsibility, the man appealed to the police with a false statement about theft of a car, knowing about the inauthenticity of his words. When receiving the application, he was officially warned of criminal liability for false denunciation.

The court qualified actions under Part 1 of Art. 306 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Taking into account mitigating circumstances (the presence of a minor child, the absence of criminal records and positive characteristics), the offender was fined 50,000 rubles. The sentence is payable within 60 days.
