RIA Novosti reported about it with reference to the court.

Furgal's lawyers are asking to cancel the earlier decision of the Basmanny Court of Moscow to extend the arrest period until December 9 and release the accused in the case of the murders of the ex-governor's businessmen from custody.

Earlier, the defense of the former politician filed an appeal against the court's decision to extend his arrest.

On September 3, Furgalu's detention was extended until December.
