The court in Krasnodar left Mikhail Savva in a pre -trial detention center

The court did not find grounds for changing the preventive measure to Mikhail Savve.

The court hearing to consider the appeal of the arrest of Professor Savva today in Krasnodar was still held and was open. During the meeting, lawyers Marina Dubrovina and Andrei Savchenko, as well as Mikhail Savva himself, who were transferred from the pre-trial detention center-5 (FSB) to the regional court to participate in the process. The defense said that the investigation has no real grounds for the maintenance of Savva in custody before the trial, and all the arguments cited are only speculations of the investigation. The defense referred to the practice of the Eurosudus on this issue, to the ban on detention before the court in economic crimes, as well as the possibility of election in relation to another preventive measure arrested, not related to imprisonment. However, the representative of the prosecutor's office standardly stated that Savva, being free, could hide, put pressure on witnesses or somehow prevent the investigation. The numerous written guarantees provided to the court from large Russian public figures, organizations and councils under the President were introduced by the court to the case file, but they did not affect the final decision: the Chinesud considered that Savva would be correctly abnited.
