Russian strike on Kanatove airfield: court leaves Chervinsky in custody until April 19
Kyiv • UNN
The court extended the pre-trial detention without bail of former acting commander Roman Chervinsky, accused of abuse of power that led to the missile attack on Kanatove airfield, until April 19, for the first time in this case, going against the request of the prosecutor's office.
Shevchenkivsky District Court extended the detention without bail until April 19 for the former acting commander of one of the units of the Special Operations Forces, Chervinsky. For the first time in this case, the court did not favor the prosecution. This was reported by the military's lawyer Konstantin Globa on his Facebook page, UNN reports.
For the first time in the case, the judge made a different decision than the prosecutor's office demanded, extending the term of detention for only 15 days. Personally, I do not agree with the decision, as I believe that on 03.03.24 the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv had already made the only legal decision - it returned the petition to the prosecutor. However, today's decision of the judge is a new development in the case, as it is the first time that it was not in favor of the prosecution.
Details
According to the lawyers , the prosecutor's office sent the indictment in Chervinsky's case to the Kirovohrad District Court for consideration on the merits, and the next preparatory hearing will be held there.
He is suspected of abuse of power in the case of the rocket attack on the Kanatove airfield in the summer of 2022.
Recall
The SBU detained the former acting commander of one of the units of the Special Operation Forces, Roman Chervinsky, in the case of the rocket attack on Kanatove airfield. He is accused of having arbitrarily decided to conduct a special operation with his accomplices to seize an aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces. To do this, they entered into negotiations with Russian pilots, one of whom agreed to go over to the side of Ukraine.
As a result, the enemy received information about the deployment of the Ukrainian Air Force personnel and Ukrainian aircraft at the Kanatove airfield. This allowed the Russian Armed Forces to launch a missile attack on the Kanatove airfield in Kirovohrad region in the summer of 2022.
However, Roman Chervinsky claims in his comments to the media that this operation was agreed upon by the Ukrainian special services.
