«The court established that the defendant built the residential house on a plot in the DNT Zlatobor (a dacha cooperative) and, lacking special education, installed the electrical wiring himself,» the regional court reported. «In the bathroom, the wiring was operating in emergency mode, but the defendant did not take measures to fix the malfunction and continued to use it, violating fire safety rules.»
The father of many children pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to two years of restricted freedom.
The court also issued a ruling addressed to the administration of the Beloyarsky District.
