Eduard Charlotte’s defense is appealing the decision of the Samara court the previous day, which sent him to a pre-trial detention center until January 24. The singer’s father, Valery Sharlot, told socialbites.ca about this. He emphasized that he thought his son’s arrest was a very drastic preventive measure.
“It was definitely planned [обжаловать решение суда]. A complaint has already been sent to the court by mail so that an appeal can be scheduled. Naturally, we will at least make an effort to change the preventive measure. He’s not a repeat offender to be sent there. The prosecutor’s office said it was claimed that he could flee abroad. However, he destroyed one of the passports himself, and the Investigative Committee took away the second one. How can he go somewhere abroad? Therefore, I believe that these measures are not proportionate to what he has done. Of course he should be punished. But I think the preventive measure should be softer and more justified,” said Valery Charlotte.
The man added that he had not yet seen his son after his arrest and did not know if he had visitation rights.
I don’t know how he feels because I haven’t visited him yet. Since it was the weekend, no one has visited him yet. Tomorrow, if possible, I will go there and find out what the opportunities are. “What can you communicate, how can you see each other if possible, how can you give him notes, take some kind of note from him to understand what he needs, how can you help in such a situation,” he concluded.
Samara Kirovsky District Court the other day arrested singer Eduard Charlotte will remain in prison for 1 month and 25 days, at least until January 24, 2024. Charlotte is accused of rehabilitating Nazism and insulting the feelings of believers.
Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Safer Internet League, said that three criminal cases have been opened against the singer. Under these articles, he faces six years in prison.
