“Among all all preventive measures, detention is the most severe, the most severe.

And it must meet all the requirements that are provided for in the law.

Therefore, I have now requested procedural documents in order to study and see the court decisions and decisions of the investigator, what motivates the requirements to extend the detention period and the inability to replace it with another, milder preventive measure, taking into account the transferred operations and marital status, ”RIA Novosti quotes Moskalkova .

She also stated that she was concerned about information about refusals to grant Zuev the right to make a phone call and to visit relatives.

“Just on Friday, I sent a second appeal to the head of the investigating body, so that he would give an explanation on this matter.

And she intends to continue to protect his rights.

Because it’s not clear to me why literally all applications are denied, ”Moskalkova clarified.

On February 9, Zuev was suddenly discharged from the hospital of the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center, where he had been all the time after his arrest, and transferred to a general isolation cell. 

Earlier, the Federal Penitentiary Service in Moscow reported that Zuev is under constant supervision of medical workers, his state of health is assessed as satisfactory. 

Zuev is accused of embezzling more than 21 million rubles.

According to investigators, in 2018, together with ex-deputy minister of education Marina Rakova and former deputy general director of the Foundation for New Forms of Education Development Yevgeny Zak, he conspired to steal money from the RANEPA.
