RUSSIA<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>(Applications nos. 28295\/20 and 31839\/21)<\/em><br \/>\nJUDGMENT<br \/>\nSTRASBOURG<br \/>\n13 October 2022<\/p>\n<p>This judgment is final but it may be subject to editorial revision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the case of Mayakov v. Russia,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting as a Committee composed of:<br \/>\nDarian Pavli, President,<br \/>\nAndreas Z\u00fcnd,<br \/>\nFr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Krenc, judges,<br \/>\nand ViktoriyaMaradudina,Acting Deputy Section Registrar,<\/p>\n<p>Having deliberated in private on 15 September 2022,<\/p>\n<p>Delivers the following judgment, which was adopted on that date:<\/p>\n<p><strong>PROCEDURE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. The case originated in applications against Russia lodged with the Court under Article\u00a034 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (\u201cthe Convention\u201d) on the various dates indicated in the appended table.<\/p>\n<p>2. The Russian Government (\u201cthe\u00a0Government\u201d) were given notice of the applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE FACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3. The details of the applications are set out in the appended table.<\/p>\n<p>4. The applicant complained of the excessive length of his pre-trial detention.He also raised other complaints under the provisions of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE LAW<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I. JOINDER OF THE APPLICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5. Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single judgment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>II. ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 5\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03 OF THE CONVENTION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6. The applicant complained principally that his pre-trial detention had been unreasonably long. He relied on Article\u00a05\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03 of the Convention, which reads as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Article\u00a05\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03<\/p>\n<p>\u201c3. Everyone arrested or detained in accordance with the provisions of paragraph\u00a01\u00a0(c) of this Article shall be &#8230; entitled to trial within a reasonable time or to release pending trial. Release may be conditioned by guarantees to appear for trial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>7. The Court observes that the general principles regarding the right to trial within a reasonable time or to release pending trial, as guaranteed by Article\u00a05 \u00a7\u00a03 of the Convention, have been stated in a number of its previous judgments (see, among many other authorities, Kud\u0142a v.\u00a0Poland [GC], no.\u00a030210\/96, \u00a7 110, ECHR 2000\u2011XI, and McKay v. the United Kingdom [GC], no. 543\/03, \u00a7\u00a7 41-44, ECHR 2006\u2011X, with further references).<\/p>\n<p>8. In the leading case of Dirdizov v. Russia, no. 41461\/10, 27\u00a0November\u00a02012, the Court already found a violation in respect of issues similar to those in the present case.<\/p>\n<p>9. Having examined all the material submitted to it, the Court has not found any fact or argument capable of persuading it to reach a different conclusion on the admissibility and merits of these complaints. Having regard to its case-law on the subject, the Court considers that in the instant case the length of the applicant\u2019s pre-trial detention was excessive.<\/p>\n<p>10. These complaints are therefore admissible and disclose a breach of Article\u00a05\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03 of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>III. OTHER ALLEGED VIOLATIONS UNDER WELL-ESTABLISHED CASE-LAW<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>11. The applicant submitted other complaints which also raised issues under the Convention, given the relevant well-established case-law of the Court (see appended table). These complaints are not manifestly ill-founded within the meaning of Article\u00a035\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03\u00a0(a) of the Convention, nor are they inadmissible on any other ground. Accordingly, they must be declared admissible. Having examined all the material before it, the Court concludes that they also disclose violations of the Convention in the light of its findings in Idalov v. Russia [GC], no. 5826\/03, \u00a7\u00a7 154\u201158, 22\u00a0May 2012, as regards lengthy review of detention matters, and Alekhin v. Russia, no. 10638\/08, \u00a7\u00a7\u00a0146-55, 30 July 2009, as regards absence of an enforceable right to compensation for a violation of a right to trial within a reasonable time and a right to have the lawfulness of detention examined speedily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IV. REMAINING COMPLAINTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>12. The applicant also raised other complaints under various Articles of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p>13. The Court has examined the applications listed in the appended table and considers that, in the light of all the material in its possession and in so far as the matters complained of are within its competence, these complaints either do not meet the admissibility criteria set out in Articles\u00a034 and\u00a035 of the Convention or do not disclose any appearance of a violation of the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Convention or the Protocols thereto.<\/p>\n<p>It follows that this part of the applications must be rejected in accordance with Article\u00a035\u00a0\u00a7\u00a04 of the Convention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>V. APPLICATION OF ARTICLE 41 OF THE CONVENTION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>14. Article 41 of the Convention provides:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Court finds that there has been a violation of the Convention or the Protocols thereto, and if the internal law of the High Contracting Party concerned allows only partial reparation to be made, the Court shall, if necessary, afford just satisfaction to the injured party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>15. Regard being had to the documents in its possession and to its case\u2011law (see, in particular, Pastukhov and Yelagin v. Russia, no. 55299\/07, 19\u00a0December 2013), the Court considers it reasonable to award the sum indicated in the appended table.<\/p>\n<p>16. The Court further considers it appropriate that the default interest rate should be based on the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank, to which should be added three percentage points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT, UNANIMOUSLY,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Decides to join the applications;<\/p>\n<p>2. Declares the complaints concerning the excessive length of the pre-trial detentionand the other complaints under well-established case-law of the Court, as set out in the appended table, admissible\u00a0and the remainder of the applications inadmissible;<\/p>\n<p>3. Holds that these complaints disclose a breach of Article\u00a05\u00a0\u00a7\u00a03 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of the pre-trial detention;<\/p>\n<p>4. Holds that there has been a violation of the Convention as regards the other complaints raised under well-established case-law of the Court (see appended table);<\/p>\n<p>5. Holds<\/p>\n<p>(a) that the respondent State is to pay the applicant, within three months, the amount indicated in the appended table, to be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable at the date of settlement;<\/p>\n<p>(b) that from the expiry of the above-mentioned three months until settlement simple interest shall be payable on the above amount at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points.<\/p>\n<p>Done in English, and notified in writing on 13 October 2022, pursuant to Rule\u00a077\u00a0\u00a7\u00a7\u00a02 and\u00a03 of the Rules of Court.<\/p>\n<p>Viktoriya Maradudina\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Darian Pavli<br \/>\nActing Deputy Registrar\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 President<\/p>\n<p>____________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>APPENDIX<\/strong><br \/>\nList of applications raising complaints under Article 5 \u00a7 3 of the Convention<br \/>\n(excessive length of pre-trial detention)<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"106\"><strong>Application no.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Date of introduction<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"117\"><strong>Applicant\u2019s name<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Year of birth<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"79\"><strong>Period of detention<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"116\"><strong>Court which issued detention order\/examined appeal<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"95\"><strong>Length of detention<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"177\"><strong>Specific defects<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"231\"><strong>Other complaints under well-established case-law<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"213\"><strong>Amount awarded for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage and costs and expenses per applicant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(in euros)<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"106\">28295\/20<\/p>\n<p>06\/06\/2020<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>31839\/20<\/p>\n<p>12\/07\/2020<\/td>\n<td width=\"117\"><strong>Andrey Vladimirovich MAYAKOV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1984<\/td>\n<td width=\"79\">23\/10\/2019 to<\/p>\n<p>18\/03\/2021<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"116\">Babushkinskiy District Court of Moscow, Moscow City Court<\/td>\n<td width=\"95\">1 year(s) and 4\u00a0month(s) and 24 day(s)<\/td>\n<td width=\"177\">use of assumptions, in the absence of any evidentiary basis, of the risks of absconding or obstructing justice;failure to assess the applicant\u2019s personal situation reducing the risks of re-offending, colluding or absconding;failure to examine the possibility of applying other measures of restraint;fragility of the reasons employed by the courts; attempted fraud charge<\/td>\n<td width=\"231\">Art. 5 (4) &#8211; excessive length of judicial review of detention &#8211; detention orders of the Babushkinskiy District Court of Moscow of 17\/19\/2019; 20\/01\/2020; 20\/03\/2020 were examined on appeal by the Moscow City Court on 28\/05\/2020; 28\/05\/2020; 01\/06\/2020, respectively; detention order of the Moscow City Court of 15\/10\/2020; appeal lodged on 20\/10\/2020 with numerous follow-ups; examined on appeal by the First Appeal Court on 17\/11\/2020 and 10\/12\/2020, appeal decision was taken on 14\/01\/2021<\/p>\n<p>Art. 5 (5) &#8211; lack of, or inadequate compensation, for the violation of Article 5 \u00a7 3 of the Convention<\/p>\n<p>Art. 5 (5) &#8211; lack of, or inadequate compensation, for the violation of Article 5 \u00a7 4 of the Convention<\/td>\n<td width=\"213\">2,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> Plus any tax that may be chargeable to the applicant.<\/p>\n<div class=\"social-share-buttons\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/laweuro.com\/?p=19829\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/laweuro.com\/?p=19829&text=CASE+OF+MAYAKOV+v.+RUSSIA+%28European+Court+of+Human+Rights%29+28295%2F20+and+31839%2F21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?url=https:\/\/laweuro.com\/?p=19829&title=CASE+OF+MAYAKOV+v.+RUSSIA+%28European+Court+of+Human+Rights%29+28295%2F20+and+31839%2F21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/laweuro.com\/?p=19829&description=CASE+OF+MAYAKOV+v.+RUSSIA+%28European+Court+of+Human+Rights%29+28295%2F20+and+31839%2F21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pinterest<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The applicant complained of the excessive length of his pre-trial detention.He also raised other complaints under the provisions of the Convention.
