The Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow extended the arrest of director Zhenya Berkovich and playwright Svetlana Petriychuk until May 4, 2024
As a result, by the end of the new arrest period, the girls will have spent a year in pre-trial detention - they were detained on May 4, 2023. This was reported by the correspondent of “Such Cases” from the courtroom. The investigation insisted on arrest due to the fact that the accused could allegedly put pressure on the investigation and witnesses. But the investigation stage has already ended. The defense asked to replace the preventive measure with one not related to deprivation of liberty.
