Court responds to Lercek's request to travel to China for treatment

A Moscow court rejected the petition of blogger Valeria Chekalina (known as Lerchek), who had previously received a suspended sentence in the case of illegal withdrawal of multimillion-dollar funds abroad, to grant her permission to travel to China to undergo gastric cancer therapy of the fourth stage. This information is contained in the materials of the criminal case.

The court document notes that if the execution of the sentence takes place outside the jurisdiction of the court that issued it, the relevant issues should be decided by a court of a similar level at the place of execution of the sentence, and in its absence by a higher authority. At the same time, a copy of the decision is sent to the court that initially issued the sentence. In this regard, the petition for clarification of ambiguities arising during the execution of the sentence cannot be considered by the district court of Moscow.

In addition, one of the participants in the trial confirmed information that the court banned the convict from leaving the Russian Federation for cancer treatment in one of the clinics in Beijing.

Earlier it was reported that Chekalina sent a petition for pardon to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Recall that on July 31, the Gagarinsky District Court of Moscow closed the verdict in the case of Chekalina. The defendant pleaded not guilty to carrying out illegal currency transactions related to the implementation of her marathons. As a result, the court sentenced her to five years of probation. In addition, she was fined 763,573,551 rubles, as well as a three-year ban on promoting her own brand on the Internet.

As part of the five-year probationary period, the court ordered the convict to comply with a number of strict restrictions. She is forbidden to change her permanent place of residence without prior notice to the supervisory authorities. She must also appear at least once a month in a specialized state body for registration. In addition, Chekalina is strictly prohibited from engaging in any activity related to the creation, administration, management or use of websites, Internet platforms and other telecommunications resources (including third party resources) for the purpose of generating income, posting or promoting content.

The Moscow City Court earlier found the verdict fully lawful and justified. Currently, the defense has filed a cassation appeal against this decision.
