Repeat drink-driver in Biysk faces 10 months of forced labour after second offence
A 29-year-old man from Biysk has been sentenced to 10 months of compulsory labour after driving under the influence of alcohol. His case follows a previous conviction nearly four years ago for causing serious injury while breaking traffic laws. The courtâs decision comes after he was caught drink-driving again, this time with a blood alcohol level well above the legal limit.
The man was first convicted in 2020 by a lawyer for violating traffic rules, resulting in grievous bodily harm. His punishment included 180 hours of compulsory labour and the revocation of his driverâs licence. The court had considered mitigating factors at the time, such as his full admission of guilt, remorse, and responsibility for two young children, as well as health issues affecting him and his relatives.
Recently, after completing his earlier sentence, he was stopped late at night in the city centre while driving under the influence. His blood alcohol level was nearly 0.9 mg/L over the legal limit. Police reports and news coverage have not disclosed his name, in line with German privacy laws that protect suspectsâ identities in such cases.
The latest ruling requires him to perform 10 months of compulsory labour. Additionally, 10% of his wages will be deducted for the state treasury as part of the penalty.
The man now faces stricter consequences for his repeated offence. His sentence includes mandatory labour and financial deductions, reflecting the courtâs response to his failure to comply with traffic laws. The case highlights the legal repercussions of drink-driving, particularly for those with prior convictions.
