The court arrested Dmitry Buchenkov, a defendant in the Bolotnaya case, in absentia. He is wanted

The Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow changed house arrest to detention for Dmitry Buchenkov, a defendant in the Bolotnaya case, and put him on the wanted list. about this on Facebook Buchenkov's lawyer Svetlana Sidorkina writes .

Sidorkina told OVD-Info that the decision did not say which Buchenkov was put on the wanted list. “The court has no information that Dmitry crossed the border, the responses of the border guards to the requests have not yet arrived,” the lawyer commented on the decision of the judge.

• On November 9, Buchenkov, who is accused of participating in "mass riots" on May 6, 2012 in Moscow, announced that he had left Russia. He said that he was “in one of the EU states” and asked for political asylum there. He did not specify which country he went to.
• Dmitry Buchenkov was taken into custody on December 2, 2015 on suspicion of participating in mass riots on May 6, 2012, which allegedly took place on Bolotnaya Square in Moscow.

Buchenkov and his relatives claim that he was not on Bolotnaya Square on May 6, 2012. The investigation insists on the opposite and accuses him of participating in the riots that allegedly took place there, and of using violence against the police. As evidence, frames of an operational video with a person who does not look like Buchenkov are cited. On the images available in the case, the differences are not so obvious. However, since the beginning of the investigation, clearer photographs have been released showing the person whose possible actions on Bolotnaya Square are imputed to Buchenkov. * On March 2, 2017, Buchenkov was transferred from the SIZO to house arrest, which was later extended until January 6, 2018.
