“To give consent to the deprivation of immunity of Gerasimenko Nikolai Fedorovich and to bring to court a case instituted in relation to his case on an administrative offense,” the lower house of parliament said in a statement.
Subsequently, the decision will be sent to the Attorney General.
The deputy faces a fine in the amount of 10 thousand to 25 thousand rubles or deprivation of a driver’s license for 1.5-2 years if the court proves his guilt.
According to RIA Novosti, Gerasimenko had an accident in June. The media reported that the deputy allegedly left the scene of the accident, but the parliamentarian himself claims that he was not hiding.
