(Moscow, November 17, 1997) -- Almost seven hours it was needed today for Golovinskij Court of Moscow to take decision about the request of Alina Vitukhnovskaja's defence to change the persecution measure from imprisonment to non-departure subscription. The judgement, Mr. Luchin decided again to reject this request. Motivation: the crime in which defendant is being accused (possession and spreading of drugs) is so publicly dangerous, that it permits to choose exactly such a persecution measure. Apart of this, judge considers that there is a danger that being released, "the defendant may continue to commit criminal activity". The next court session is scheduled for December 8.
