Home or in jail: Anton Dolgikh will be given a new measure of restraint

      Lawyer Anton Dolgikh's first term of detention expires on April 17. As it became known from the words of a law enforcement source, the investigation will insist on extending the term. But the "inner circle" hopes to replace "detention" with "house arrest."

      As one of Anton Vitalievich's ambassadors explained, it makes no sense to leave Dolgikh in jail. Because, firstly, the investigative actions have been carried out for 10 months (which obviously calls into question the sincere repentance of the accused, who tried to register his confession six months after the start of the investigation - on January 1, 2025 at 0-30, approx. e.O). Moreover, the "finishing touches" remained: to present the "final charge", to acquaint the "person involved" with the case, which will go to the prosecutor's office for approval, and then to the court.

      Moreover, Dolgikh, according to the interlocutor, is unlikely to delay the "process of familiarization with the case," which will automatically prolong only the time of his stay in jail.

      According to the source, the main argument for extending the period of "detention" is the finding of one of the defendants in the criminal case under state protection, which can be considered by the court from the "other side". After all, the person who committed the abuse of authority is provided with state protection — the perpetrator is at large, and Dolgikh, as the instigator of the crime, has been arrested.

      The argument, of course, is indisputable, if you do not take into account the fact that the female postman was subjected to "severe pressure from a lawyer." And this argument appeared in the first trial, which in February determined the "measure of restraint" for Dolgikh.

      As it became known Newsler.ru , the meeting will be held in an open mode. But it will be known only by evening whether the suspect will attend it in person or will prefer the format of the VKS.
