Lawyers: defenders of those accused of treason are not allowed into the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center and are not allowed to familiarize themselves with the case materials
Lawyer Evgeny Smirnov, who represents the interests of Evgeny Petrin and Gennady Kravtsov, accused of treason, is not allowed into the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center - the investigators in the case do not give him permission to visit his clients. Smirnov told Mediazona about this on Wednesday. “Recently, investigators simply stopped communicating. Starting Monday, they do not answer my calls, they are unavailable on their office phone, they simply refuse to meet with me.
