30-year-old Vadim Kolodkin must pay a fine of 2.5 million rubles for the mistreatment of animals (Article 15.45 of the Administrative Code), and compensation for harm to the environment - 20 million 760 thousand rubles.

Kolodkin partially admitted his guilt. But after the trial left many questions.

 We remind that on June 17 arnitolyagi found on the lake Lukoml 28 mutilated young cormorants - to cut off naddyubkami. The accused admitted in court that he really did this zhivoderstva. But it said that the cut in only six of the beak of birds. And, defensively, insisting that the cut is, after killing chicks.

Arnitolyag Vitaly Kashcheev, speaking in court as a witness, said he was confident that one person can not do it. And that, perhaps, Kolodkin takes the blame for other criminals.

Kashcheev also claims that 28 birds, which were found dead - it's not all victims zhivoderstva. According to his calculations, there should be 50-70, as some cormorants fly off, and had died in other places. No beak birds do not survive.

Arnitolyag official denied media reports that, when it became aware of the crime, cormorants live with cut beaks do euthanasia, that is put to sleep - to relieve pain. As it turns out in court, they simply unscrew the head ...

Judge Marina Drobysh did not take into account the testimony of an ornithologist.

Remained unsolved and the motives of the crime. The defendant said that he did it "just so" and no benefit from it did not. But, according to police report, Kolodkin snapped its beak in order to pass them to the fish farm and get money for them. In court, he gave up these explanations.

In Chashniki fish farm, in turn, argue that the bill cormorants no money for a long time do not give. But do not deny that they have on the cormorant as harmful to the bird, shooting a limit - 300 birds.

Thus, the only evidence of guilt at trial was Kolodkin his own confession, and - in part. The court in Chashniki over an hour.
