The court in St. Petersburg left in the pre-trial detention center the creator of the resistance map QR codes

The City Court of St. Petersburg refused to translate the creator of the resistance map of the QR codes of Alexander Konovalov under house arrest, the United press service of the city courts reports . He is in a pre -trial detention center in the case of mediation in a bribe from the end of January.

The defense of Konovalov during the meeting insisted that the investigation did not establish the circumstances of the transfer of money, her client does not have a passport, he did not intend to hide, and Konovalov’s qualifications were artificially overpriced. “The severity of the crime itself cannot serve as the basis for extending a preventive measure in the form of detention,” the restaurateur lawyer noted. Konovalov himself also reminded that he was the father of three children.

The prosecution objected to the transfer of Konovalov under house arrest. As a result, the court supported the prosecutor and upheld the decision of the Oktyabrsky District Court of St. Petersburg on the imprisonment of the restaurateur.

According to investigators, Konovalov handed over a bribe to employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and hookah and tobacco were returned. On February 21, the Pskov Arbitration Court recognized the requirements of the tax inspectorate to declare it bankrupt as substantiated.
