Preventive measures extended for those involved in the “sanitary case”

The Preobrazhensky District Court of Moscow extended for three months the house arrest of the defendant in the “sanitary case” and municipal deputy Dmitry Baranovsky, accused of inciting violation of sanitary and epidemiological standards (Part 1 of Article 236 of the Criminal Code with the use of Part 4 of Article 33 of the Criminal Code) in connection with with a rally on January 23 in support of Alexei Navalny. This was reported by lawyer from OVD-Info Alexey Vasiliev.

As the lawyer clarified, at the meeting the judge considered two issues: the extension of the preventive measure and the return of the case to the prosecutor's office.

The prosecution demanded that house arrest be extended for six months until January 6. Baranovsky's defense told the court that the prosecutor's office did not provide grounds for increasing the term of house arrest. Lawyer Vasiliev insisted on mitigating the preventive measure and releasing Baranovsky on bail.

The defense provided guarantees from 12 Moscow City Duma deputies, 4 heads of municipal districts, 39 municipal deputies and 2 candidates to the State Duma.

The court ignored the defense's arguments and partially granted the prosecutor's request, extending the house arrest until October 6.

Also, lawyer Vasiliev filed a petition to return the case to the prosecutor’s office due to ambiguities and contradictions in the prosecution’s position: “We filed a petition because it is impossible to consider a case of inducing other persons to commit crimes if these persons are not identified. It is impossible to consider the case if Baranovsky allegedly persuaded these other persons by persuasion and in another way, and another method was not named. The role of a certain person is not clear. It is not clear what Baranovsky’s publications on social networks were, either by persuasion or by another means. In general, the accusation is truly incomprehensible. The judge ignored all these arguments; the case will not be returned to the prosecutor.”
