MOSCOW, May 30 (RAPSI, Diana Gutsul) - The Supreme Court of Tatarstan has collected 399,716 rubles (nearly $7,000) from Russia’s Finance Ministry in favor of Sergey Senin acquitted of double homicide, lawyer Igor Sholokhov told RAPSI on Tuesday.

Senin has demanded wage loss indemnity from the Russian authorities.

According to case papers, on July 13, 2003, unknown persons broke into premises of a businessman in the Tatarstan Republic’s town of Tetyushi to steal an iron safe with money. Two security staffs were shot dead.

Senin, who was charged with the crime, pleaded not guilty. In 2006, charges against Senin were dropped. He exercised the right to rehabilitation and recovered compensation from the Russian authorities. However, 10 years later, in 2016, he was arrested again and charged with double murder, illegal possession of weapons and robbery, Sholokhov told RAPSI earlier.

Jurors in the Supreme Court of Tatarstan have acquitted the man. In February 2017, Russia’s Supreme Court upheld the ruling.

On May 31, a district court in Kazan will hear another lawsuit lodged by the man seeking 1 million rubles in damages for unwarranted prosecution.

According to Sholokhov, Senin was detained within 8 months and 22 days. He was subjected to moral and physical suffering, the attorney added.
