Vyshinsky's defense appealed the extension of the disgraced journalist's arrest
The defense filed an appeal against the extension of the arrest to the head of the RIA Novosti-Ukraine portal, Kirill Vyshinsky, against whom the Ukrainian authorities have fabricated a number of criminal cases, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was announced by Vyshinsky’s lawyer Andrei Domansky.
“The complaint was filed today with the Court of Appeal of the Kherson region,” Domansky said.
According to him, if the court quickly resolves all procedural and technical issues, the hearing could take place at the end of the week.
As PolitNavigator previously reported, on September 6, the Kherson City Court granted the request of the prosecutor’s office to extend the arrest period for the head of the RIA Novosti-Ukraine portal, Kirill Vyshinsky.
Let us remind you that on May 15, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted searches in the office of RIA Novosti-Ukraine. Later it became known that the head of RIA Novosti-Ukraine was informed of suspicion of committing a crime. He was detained. Criminal proceedings have been opened under Part 1 of Article 111 (high treason) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The head of RIA Novosti-Ukraine was arrested. Subsequently, it became known that Vyshinsky’s property had been seized.
On July 6, Vyshinsky was informed of another suspicion - of committing a criminal offense under Part 1 of Art. 263 (illegal acquisition, storage of firearms and ammunition) of the Criminal Code.
