The Moscow City Court extended the arrest of Savchenko until September 30

Judge of the Moscow City Court Pavel Melekhin satisfied the request of the investigation and extended the arrest of the Ukrainian pilot, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Nadezhda Savchenko until September 30. This was reported by RAPSI.

Investigator Timofei Grachev motivated his petition by the fact that it takes time to familiarize himself with Savchenko and her protection with the case file.

The lawyer Ilya Novikov said that his client uses international immunity as a delegate PACE, which means that its criminal prosecution in Russia is impossible in accordance with international law. In addition, the lawyer indicated, the application for the extension of the arrest for more than a year must be signed by the head of the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin, while there is no signature on the document. This violates the norms of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Savchenko stated that she was innocent, and expressed bewilderment about her conclusion. "I do not understand on what grounds you keep me in a cage. The lawyer Novikov announced the norms of international law, according to which you should let me go home," Savchenko said.

Savchenko, who stopped the hunger strike some time ago, looked much better than before and seemed cheerful. She talked in Russian in Russian with journalists and those present. The Ambassador of Ukraine came to the meeting.

On June 4, Novikov said that the investigation in the Savchenko case accelerated sharply . According to the lawyer, investigators began to rush a long time ago. According to Novikov, the Russian authorities decided to hold a trial as soon as possible to Savchenko, and then begin negotiations on her release. The Kremlin does not receive any benefit from Savchenko’s retention, the lawyer noted.

According to Novikov, the term appointed by the court does not depend when Savchenko is at home. Therefore, as the main task in the process, the defense considers not the struggle for the mitigation of punishment, but the maximum publicity of violations committed during the investigation. This is necessary to grow Savchenko’s support abroad, Novikov noted. The defense seeks to show the whole world that "the court was biased, evidence of the defense is more convincing, there are no evidence of the prosecution."

On May 21, another lawyer Savchenko Mark Feigin said that the investigation was completed in her case . She and the defenders are now getting acquainted with the case file.

On April 24, Savchenko was a final charge . Part 5 of Article 33 - paragraphs “A”, “e”, “l” of part 2 of Article 105 (aiding in the murder in the generally hazardous method of two or more persons based on political hatred, perfect by a group of persons), part 5 of Article 33 - Part 3 of Article 30 - paragraphs “A”, “E”, “L” of Article 105 (Part 2 of Article 105 (Part 2 of Article 105 (Part 2 or more. persons based on political hatred, committed by a group of persons) and part 1 of Article 322 of the Criminal Code (illegal crossing of the border). Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code, Savchenko, threatens up to 20 years in the colony, since according to Articles 57, 59 of the Code, more severe punishments - life imprisonment and death penalty are not appointed to women.

On May 7, Feigin said that the trial of Savchenko is supposed to be held in Voronezh . According to the criminal case of Savchenko, she crossed the border with Russia in the Voronezh region. Thus, the transfer of her case to the court of this region from a formal point of view looks logical.

Nevertheless, on May 14, Savchenko handed over a statement through Feigin, in which she demanded to conduct a court to her in Moscow . According to the pilot, to transfer the process to Voronezh, they want to hide "mediocrity, unprofessionalism and crime of the investigation."
