A criminal case was considered against a resident of the village of Borovka who committed a crime under Part 1 of Article 206 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
In early April 2019, a resident of the village of Borovka, together with the victim T., were at a lake in the village of Borovka, where local children were also present. The children started joking about the opening of the swimming season, and the accused threw one of the children into the water, deciding to join in the joke. On this basis, a conflict arose between the resident of the village of Borovka and the victim T., as a result of which the victim T. was punched in the face and kicked in the chest. Afterwards, the resident of the village of Borovka took the victim T.'s wallet from the inner pocket of his jacket, from which he took cash and kept it for himself.
Both during the preliminary investigation and the court investigation, the resident of the village of Borovka did not admit his guilt in the theft of cash. He explained that he intended to return the money later, as he and the victim wanted to drink alcoholic beverages in the evening.
The court of Lepel District found the resident of the village of Borovka guilty of committing a crime under Part 1 of Article 206 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus and sentenced him to restriction of liberty without direction to an open-type correctional institution for a term of 1 year and 6 months. In accordance with Part 1 of Article 107 of the Criminal Code, compulsory measures for the medical treatment of chronic alcoholism were applied.
This sentence of the court of Lepel District has entered into legal force.
