The Moscow City Court for six months extended the term of home arrest to the coordinator of the Left Front Sergey Udaltsov and the term of detention in the pre -trial detention center of his associate Leonid Razvozhaev, said RAPSI. Thus, the court granted the request of the prosecutor's office to extend his preventive measure.

On Tuesday, the Moscow City Court began preliminary hearings in the case of Udaltsov and Razvozhaev. According to the Code of Criminal Procedure, they pass in closed mode. The judge will accept the decision to consider the case or on the return of the case to the prosecutor's office on February 6.

On January 16, lawyer Violett Volkov said that the Prosecutor General’s Office approved a new indictment in the case. "14.01 accepted the Udaltsov case for production, removed from him the availability of information about the defense witnesses, on 15.01 approved a new indictment. she remarked. “And this is with the decision of the Moscow City Court that has not entered into force on December 26, 2013,” Volkova added. “They work well. Well, this will not remain without a“ gift ”.”

On December 26, Judge of the Moscow City Court Alexander Zamashnyuk during the preliminary hearings on the process of Udaltsov and Razvozzhaevdecided to return the case to the Prosecutor General . The reason for this, he called the inconsistency of the indictment, which was approved by Deputy Prosecutor Grin in early December, the requirements of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The investigator satisfied the petition of Udaltsov for interrogation of 87 people, but did not interrogate 55 of them, Zamashnyuk noted. In addition, the indications of questioned witnesses were not analyzed in the indictment. The judge refused to change the measure of restraint to the accused.

The next day, the supervisory authority appealed to the decision of the Ut . However, on December 30, the complaint was revoked . “The Prosecutor General’s Office received the Tsu how to attack the defense, and hastily withdrew its no less hasty complaint. I see so,” Volkov commented on the situation.

On January 31, the judge of the Moscow City Court Natalya Olichver rejected the appeal of the defense of Udaltsov and Razvozhaeva to return their criminal case to the prosecutor's office. Defordzhaeva defender Dmitry Agranovsky said that the prosecutor's office defiantly did not fulfill the court decision to eliminate violations of indictment. The lawyers were not informed about anything, everything was done in one day, ”said Agranovsky.“ After returning the case to the prosecutor’s office, the investigation excluded a list of defense witnesses from the case, which violates our right to defense, ”said Udaltsov’s lawyer Nikolai Polozov.

The court also considered an appeal to extend Udaltsov and Razvozhaev preventive measures. Lawyer Violett Volkova said that all the grounds for the detention of Udaltsov were disappeared in connection with the end of the investigation of the case. "Udaltsov has not been able to earn money for a year, he has not visited doctors for a year. There is no reason to keep him further under arrest," the lawyer said.

Udaltsov and Razvozhaevs are accused of preparing for the organization of riots (part 1 of Article 30, part 1 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code) and the organization of riots on May 6, 2012 on Bolotnaya Square in Moscow (part 1 of Article 212). In addition to this, Razvozhaev also is also charged with an illegal crossing of the state border (part 1 of Article 322). Both defendants did not admit guilt and refused to testify.

The case against Udaltsov and Razvoszhaev was initiated after the show of the film "Anatomy of Protest - 2" at NTV. Its authors claim that the opposition was preparing a power seizure of power, receiving funding from abroad.

Razvoszhaev tried to get political asylum in Ukraine, but was abducted in Kyiv, delivered to Russia and arrested. Another thing against him - on charges of knowingly false denunciation of the investigator of the TFR (part 2 of Article 306 of the Criminal Code) - was returned to the investigation.
