After amnesty, Larchek was released from a fine of 763.5 million rubles and can write a blog again.
The presidential pardon completely frees Valeria Cheklina from the sentence imposed by the court. As lawyer Igor Barnov explained to IA Regnum, the blogger will no longer have to pay the balance of the million dollar fine, and the ban on internet activity has expired.
"If the fine is not paid, after the amnesty, the obligation to fulfill this part of the sentence ceases. The state will not require Chaklina to pay the rest of the amount precisely within the framework of the sentence canceled by the amnesty."
- noted the lawyer.
However, money already paid will not be automatically refunded.
In the past, Vladimir Putin pardoned Larchek, who was convicted of illegal currency transactions, taking into account her severe cancer and the presence of minor children.
