The Dzerzhinsky Court of St. Petersburg arrested the drummer of the group Vladislav Leontyev for 13 days under the protocol for organizing a mass simultaneous gathering of citizens in a public place, reported the SOTAvision correspondent*. It turned out that he voluntarily came to the police yesterday.
Like Naoko, Leontyev performed music of "foreign agents" in the center of the Northern capital. The protocol states that the young man violated public order, obstructed pedestrian movement, making it difficult for them to enter the vestibule of the Ploshchad Vosstaniya metro.
The musician confirmed that he performed on the designated day, but added that pedestrians could move freely, no complaints were received. Leontyev was not aware of the need to coordinate the performance of songs with city authorities.
Lawyer Ekaterina Dadaeva petitioned to view footage from surveillance cameras, as well as to summon witness Nikolaev to court due to contradictions in his testimony, and also Leontyev's father, who volunteered for the "SVO" in 2024 and recently returned.
The court denied all petitions. At the same time, as noted by "Bumaga"*, the protocol for Leontyev was not signed, the signature was placed right during the session.
Previously, the singer of the group Naoko was sentenced to 13 days of arrest on the same charges.
