"The decision of the investigating judge of Pechersky District Court dated May 13 [...] who chose a preventive measure in the form of round-the-clock house arrest [...] to leave unchanged. The appeals of the defenders [...] and the prosecutor's appeal [...] to be dismissed," the court said in the ruling.

The Court of Appeal read out only the operative part of the ruling, the full text will be announced on May 26.

The ruling of the Court of Appeal is not subject to appeal.
