The defense of Vladimir Vasilyev, who killed two people in a car crash, is suing the owner of the keys.

      The defense of "the son of a Rosgvardiya colonel," Vladimir Vasilyev, convicted in Yekaterinburg for a car crash that killed two people, intends to bring the owner of the car Vasilyev was driving at the time of the accident into the civil suit, Kommersant-Ural reports.

      Vasilyev's lawyer, Vladimir Krivonogov, told Kommersant-Ural that the defense deems it necessary to bring the owner of the KIA Rio, Nikita Fomin, in as a co-defendant in the civil suit for compensation for moral damages. A new appeal has already been prepared.

      In the defense's view, the trial court shirked establishing the degree of the car owner's fault. According to Krivonogov, if Fomin "had been more responsible, the high-profile accident might not have occurred."

      Nikita Fomin's lawyer, Yulia Bakun, in turn reminded that her client did not hand the keys to Vasilyev, Kommersant-Ural writes. "Vasilyev's side is trying to build its defense on a baseless and unsubstantiated assertion to the contrary," she said.

      Victims' lawyer Violetta Kotova also confirmed that no claims have been made against Fomin.

      In addition, according to Vladimir Krivonogov, in the new appeal the defense asks to significantly reduce the payments to the widow of one of the deceased, Vitaly Nikiforov, for funeral expenses. Earlier the court ordered Vasilyev to pay 741,000 rubles to Irina Alferova. The defense insists on a sum half as large — by excluding the gravestone from the list of expenses.

      "The person responsible for the crash does not realize what an irreparable loss he has caused by his crime. The child is growing up without a father," Kotova said, commenting on the convicted man's new appeal demands.

      The victims' side plans to file objections to Vasilyev's appeal in court, and also to take part in challenging his parole in the Sverdlovsk Regional Court. It was earlier reported that the Nizhny Tagil prosecutor's office has appealed the parole decision.
