“Article 148 (“ Violation of the right to freedom of conscience and religion ”) and 330 (“ Arbitrariness ”) of the Criminal Code of Russia," she said, answering a question about what articles Romanov is charged with.
According to her, he was also charged under the article on inducement to suicide (110.1 of the Criminal Code of Russia).
The lawyer noted that the man was escorted to Moscow for a measure of restraint.
According to the Kommersant newspaper, the reason for the arrest could have been one of the videos featuring the former schema-monk, published on YouTube.
As the ombudsman for the rights of the child in the Sverdlovsk region Igor Morokov told RIA Novosti, he submitted an application to the prosecutor's office with a request to check the video.
“We usually monitor the networks.
I am informed about what is happening in the Sverdlovsk region.
In one of the reports I saw a video (Sergius).
We consulted with lawyers.
We decided that, in our opinion, there are elements of a violation of the law on the prohibition of information that affects the health of children.
They asked the prosecutor's office to give an assessment, ”he told the agency.
At the same time, the regional prosecutor's office noted that they do not have data on the verification at the request of the children's ombudsman, the agency writes.
Earlier, TASS, citing a source, said that the former schema-monk Sergiy (Romanov) was detained to testify.
On September 10, it became known that Schemamonk Sergius had been excommunicated for conducting divine services, despite being defrocked.
In the summer he was fined for incitement to hatred and for disseminating false information.
Sergius became the center of attention after he began to speak in sermons about the coronavirus as a "pseudo-pandemic."
