A Russian who fled to Ukraine for political asylum was put on the wanted list in his homeland
The accused in the “New Greatness” case, Sergei Gavrilov, who recently left Russia and asked for political asylum from the Ukrainian authorities, was put on the wanted list in his homeland, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported by the Russian publication Mediazona.
The Lyublinsky District Court of Moscow arrested Gavrilov in absentia, said the lawyer of the defendant in the case, Maria Dubovik, Maxim Pashkov. Before this, Gavrilov was under house arrest. Gavrilov's case has been separated into separate proceedings.
The fact that the accused left Russia became known to the media on October 23.
Deputy Director of the Federal Penitentiary Service Valery Maksimenko said that on the morning of October 21, the integrity of Gavrilov’s electronic bracelet was broken and the officers who went to the scene did not find it. TASS, citing a source in the security forces, reported that the bracelet did not work and the security forces did not know about the escape.
Gavrilov, like four other defendants in the case, was under house arrest. On October 17, two other defendants, Ruslan Kostylenkov and Vyacheslav Kryukov, cut their wrists in the courtroom, as Kryukov later explained, to protest against their detention.
At the court hearing on October 24, the accused, who were in custody, were handcuffed. When asked by lawyer Alexander Borkov to remove the handcuffs, the judge replied that he “can’t.”
As PolitNavigator previously reported, on October 22, the press service of the State Border Service of Ukraine reported that on the border of Ukraine and Russia in the Chernihiv region, a 26-year-old Russian asked for political asylum in Ukraine. During the conversation, the Russian said that in the Russian Federation he was being persecuted for participating in protests against the current government.
