"The ruling of the Moscow City Court is recognized as legal, the appeals of the lawyers are to be left unsatisfied," TASS cites the judge's decision.

Furgal participated in the court hearing via video link.

As noted, at the trial it became known that threats were made to two witnesses in the case, so they were provided with state protection.

On July 5, it was reported that the Moscow City Court extended the term of Furgalu's arrest for three months.
