The case of a ‘lemonade poisoner’ from Moscow sent for reconsideration

The case of a ‘lemonade poisoner’ from Moscow sent for reconsideration
The criminal case against Murat Sabanov, who was sentenced by the capital's Basmanny District Court to 16 years for poisoning and robbery, will be reconsidered.  The corresponding decision was made by the Moscow City Court, which considered the materials on the appeal filed by both parties (defense and prosecution).

Sabanov heard the verdict back in May 2021. A series of poisonings, which the criminal committed at Chistye Prudy and in other parts of the capital, was recorded in court in the form of 25 cases of robbery.  The court also charged Sabanov with 10 episodes of theft of money from the victims' bank accounts.
In total, the ‘poisoner’ stole six passports, and the cases of fraud were proven.
At the same time, the criminal partially admitted his guilt and expressed remorse.

 During the investigation, it turned out that Sabanov came to Moscow from Kabardino-Balkaria.  He found his victims mainly near Chistye Prudy, starting to communicate with people who drank alcohol.  He offered them lemonade containing psychotropic substances.

 Sedation led to the fact that 30 people lost consciousness, some fell into a coma, recovering only the next day.  One person ended up in intensive care.  The fraudster simply took the money and belongings of the victims and left.
The amount of the stolen exceeded one million rubles.
The civil claims of victims in court amounted to 1.85 million rubles, but Sabanov himself explained what he had done by the fact that he just wanted to  ‘survive’.

 A new verdict is to be passed by the same district court, but by its different bench.  The ‘lemonade poisoner’ himself will remain in custody at least until March 15, 2022.
