The Judge of the Lefortovo District Court of Moscow Anna Antipova extended the former member of the board of Inter RAO Karina Tsurkan, arrested in the "spy" case, the term of detention in the pre -trial detention center for three months - until November 14. About the hearings held on Friday, then RNS reported .

Any details of the meeting in the publication are not given any details. There are no them in the post on the FB page of the lawyer Ivan Pavlov, who, together with the colleague of "team 29" Evgeny Smirnov, defends the arrested.

The 43-year-old Tsurkan, a citizen of Russia and Romania, was detained by FSB operatives on June 14. The next day she was arrested. Tsurkan is contained in the Central Headquarters of the FSIN "Lefortovo", unofficially controlled by the FSB. According to article 276 of the Criminal Code (espionage), she faces from 10 to 20 years in a colony. In the media, information about the casecame only on the 19th .

On June 21, it became known thatRomania demanded an explanation in connection with the arrest of Tsurkan.

Searches in the case of the arrested went to the houses and work with the deputy head of the Russian Ministry of Energy Vyacheslav Kravchenko. It is assumed that he passes a witness in the case.

On July 11, lawyer Pavlov informed the details of the case . It is claimed that on August 16, 2004, Zurkan became an agent of the Moldova special services (before that, it was reported in the media that she worked for Romania). April 21, 2015 in Moscow - where exactly and under what circumstances, the FSB does not specify - the accused allegedly received the electronic version of the “Project of the Ministry of Energy of the Ministry of Energy on certain aspects of the actions of Russian energy companies on the channel of international cooperation”, and on September 29 of the same year it is also unclear where and under what circumstances - transferred it to the Moldavian special service. On December 5, 2016, experts attracted by the FSB gave a conclusion according to which the information in this document is a state secret.

Pavlov called it incomprehensible why Tsurcan was detained only a year and a half after the expert opinion gave the basis to accuse her of espionage. The investigator refused to answer this question, just as he refused and specify the accusation.

Tsurcan herself categorically denies guilt.

One of the "investigating chiefs" hinted at Tsurkan that she could mitigate the preventive measure if she testified against some of her colleagues. The arrested rejected this proposal.
