Despite the requests of the defense to mitigate the measure due to his state of health, the court left Zuev under arrest, specifying that doctors are monitoring the rector and he receives medical assistance in full, RIA Novosti reports.
Sergei Zuev, rector of Shaninka, claims that since November 2021 no investigative actions have been carried out with him.
This was reported to RT by PMC member Alexander Khurudzhi, who visited the rector in the prison hospital at the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center.
Sergei Zuev is accused of embezzling over 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.
