Three months of house arrest

This decision was made by Judge Pavlov regarding ex-mayor Alexander Makarov. The prosecution requested a change in the preventive measure.

The prosecutor's petition referred to pressure on witnesses and judges, including through the creation of a positive image of the defendant through the media and the Internet.

In the Criminal Procedure Code, such a preventive measure as house arrest has existed for a long time since the adoption of the new Criminal Procedure Code in 2001. But in the Tomsk region such a preventive measure was used for the first time. That is, Alexander Makarov is the first person who will be under house arrest for 9 years before sentencing. So far we are talking about 3 months. After three months, the court may change the measure of restraint.
