The Basmanny Court of Moscow decided to satisfy the petition of the investigation in a high-profile criminal case on the murder of an elk, extending the term of the preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions to the State Duma deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Valery Rashkin accused of committing a crime.
According to Interfax, citing the press service of the court, the preventive measure has been extended until March 29. The court session took place in the absence of Rashkin, as he contracted a coronavirus infection.
Recall that as part of the preventive measure, Rashkin is prohibited from: visiting hunting grounds, sending and receiving correspondence, using any means of communication and the Internet, communicating with witnesses in a criminal case and other defendants in a criminal case, and also leaving the place of residence without the written permission of the investigator from 23:00 until 07:00.
On December 2, it became known that the chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, opened a criminal case under the second part of Article 258 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (illegal hunting) against Valery Rashkin. Prior to that, on November 25, at a meeting, deputies of the State Duma voted to satisfy the proposal of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation on the removal of immunity from their colleague, allowing Rashkin to be held criminally and administratively liable for illegal hunting and refusing a medical examination, and also to elect a measure of restraint against him .
