I should note that a year later, the chairman of that court got a summons to go to Chita to appear before the President’s personal representative, who accused him of having ‘helped a state criminal’ and fired him shortly afterwards. My local lawyer told me the story – in a town of just 50,000 inhabitants, there aren’t many lawyers and they all talk to each other.
