The Lefortovsky District Court of Moscow received a petition for the arrest of Yu.V. Plyska, who is suspected of treason (Article 275 of the Criminal Code). Mediazona found the relevant information in the database of Moscow courts.
The case file says that the request for arrest was registered yesterday, April 20, but the information in the database appeared only today. Probably the request has already been granted. «Mediazona» tried to confirm the information about the arrest of Plyska in the press service of the court, but they did not answer the calls there.
There is no additional information about the Plyska criminal case, the details of all treason cases are classified.
April 18, the State Duma adopted amendments in two readings at once, which will allow life imprisonment in cases of treason. The bill has not yet been approved by Vladimir Putin, so the amendments have not yet entered into force. According to the current legislation, under the article on treason, from 12 to 20 years in a colony is provided.
