Overview
- The Sverdlovsky District Court of Perm partially upheld his 10 million‑ruble claim against the Finance Ministry, awarding 200,000 rubles in moral damages.
- Judge Ilya Yegoshin denied the remainder of the lawsuit after the ministry opposed payment and the regional prosecutor called the demand excessive.
- Belykh’s lawyer said he will appeal the decision.
- The claim stems from an abuse‑of‑power case that the Kirov Regional Court overturned in July 2024 with rehabilitation granted.
- In court, Belykh cited repeated prison transfers, pretrial detention restrictions and extensive investigative actions as grounds for moral harm.
