The Moscow City Court confirmed the legality of extending the detention of journalist Evan Gershkovich, Interfax reported on Tuesday, October 10.
The defense’s appeal, which was filed against the first instance decision to extend the arrest until the end of November, was rejected by the court. This means that the previously adopted decision of the Lefortovo Court of Moscow was left unchanged.
The agency also reports that the meeting was held behind closed doors, and the materials of the criminal case are classified.
Previously, Gershkovich’s lawyers expressed the opinion that his client could be assigned a preventive measure not related to detention in a pre-trial detention center (pretrial detention center).
