Pavel Sapelka: Giving materials of Autuohovich’s case to a German expert is flagrant lawlessness

The lawyer of the Vaukavysk entrepreneur commented on the information that a German expert got acquainted with the case of Mikalai Autukhovich.

We remind that the Professor Martin Finke from the University of Passau (Germany) says there are no irregularities in judicial proceedings in the case of Vaukavysk entrepreneurs Mikalai Autukhovich, Uladzimir Asipenka and Yury Lyavonau, Aleh Vouchak, an attorney of Autukhovich’s family.

The expert presented his conclusions in a report, which is now being spread in the European Parliament and other EU institutions. As far as Vouchak knows, Finke was in Minsk on June 8–10 on an invitation of the Belarusian side.

As BelaPAN learnt from Autukhovich’s lawyer Pavel Sapelka, neither he nor his client met with German expert Martin Finke.

“I have only indirect information about the lawyer’s visit and conclusion. I know that a German expert visited the country and was given something to examine. I am not acquainted with the conclusion and the expert,” Sapelka said.

He emphasized that if the German expert had really been given to study the materials of the case, it was “flagrant lawlessness”. “Even I, a defence lawyer, can get any materials except for those permitted by the law, these are some regulations, service documents,” Sapelka says.

There no comments from the law enforcement agencies of Belarus so far.
