Sochi's former mayor and his spouse remain detained following Moscow court decision

The Meshchansky District Court of the capital has upheld the current measures of restraint for both Alexei and Yanina Kopaygorodsky, with their detention extended for a period of two months and 27 days for Yanina, and one month and seven days for Alexei.

The former Sochi Mayor, Alexei Kopaygorodsky, and his wife, Yanina, are currently in custody. The court's decision to uphold the current measures of restraint was reported by Moscow's general jurisdiction courts.

In a recent hearing, the lawyers and accused petitioned for a change in the measure of restraint to one not involving detention. However, the court did not grant these requests.

The exact reasons for the detention extensions and the current status of both individuals are not publicly available at this time. If updates on their ongoing legal or political matters become available, they would typically come from official legal sources, news outlets, or statements from their representatives.

It is important to note that the court's decision to uphold the current measures of restraint for both Alexei and Yanina Kopaygorodsky was also confirmed in a separate hearing, further affirming the court's decision.

As the case continues to unfold, it is crucial to stay informed through trusted news sources and official government or legal announcements for the most accurate and current information.

The extended detention for Alexei Kopaygorodsky, the former Sochi Mayor, and his wife, Yanina, remains in effect, as confirmed by the Meshchansky District Court in Moscow. This development is significant in the context of the ongoing legal proceedings, which belong to the category of general-news and crime-and-justice reporting.
