Major of Justice Daniil Grankov, Deputy Head of the Investigative Department, initiates a criminal case on suspicion of organizing the activity of an extremist organization.
Apart from Aleksandr Ursu, the searches affected two more believers from Dzhankoy. Force was used against them in order to gain access to their electronic devices.
During the interrogation, Aleksandr Ursu uses his right to not testify against himself and his relatives.
Investigator Grankov requests the Dzhankoy District Court place Aleksandr Ursu under house arrest.
The lawyer requests a more lenient preventive measure — a ban on certain actions. He explains that Ursu's wife has serious health problems and Aleksandr is responsibile for all household issues.
The court agrees with the position of the defense. Aleksandr is forbidden to leave his apartment in the period from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. the next day, to leave Dzhankoy, to use communications and the Internet. The elderly believer is fitted with a tracking bracelet.
On the same day, Aleksandr was summoned for interrogation to the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. The believer spends about 8 hours there.
Investigator Grankov charges Aleksandr Ursu for reading and discussing the Bible with friends.
