"He (Ulyukaev) was indeed hospitalized in a prison hospital in the city of Torzhok. But this is a planned hospitalization, not an emergency. As far as I know, his life is not in danger, "TASS quotes Elgardt.

The Office of the Ombudsman for Human Rights in the Tver region said that there had been no complaints from Ulyukayev.

Earlier it was reported that the defense of Ulyukaev agreed to comply with the verdict of the court and to write off 130 million rubles from its accounts.
