The defense of Kotenochkina, accused under the article on “fakes,” asked the court to question her convicted colleagues, Yashin and Gorinov; the judge refused
The Meshchansky District Court of Moscow did not allow the defense in the case of municipal deputy Elena Kotenochkina to question municipal deputies Ilya Yashin and Aleksey Gorinov, convicted of military "fakes", as witnesses. This was reported by a Mediazona correspondent from the courtroom. Municipal deputy Elena Kotenochkina is being tried in absentia in a case about "fakes" about the Russian army (paragraph "d" of part 2 of article 207.3 of the Criminal Code).
