The court found unreasonable suspicion and, accordingly, the detention of Ephraim – the lawyer
The Kyiv court of appeals reviewed the case of ex-regions Alexander Efremov, who has more than six months is in jail, and admitted that the suspicion of committing the criminal offense provided by part 5 of article 191 of the Criminal code of Ukraine (an illegal taking of property “Luganskugol”), was unfounded. Therefore, the measure of restraint in form of detention has also been selected incorrectly.
About this in Facebook wrote the lawyer Efremova Andrey Smirnov.
“It should be noted that this article was the reason for the illegal arrest of Alexander Efremov, handing him suspicious transaction reports and election of a measure of restraint in form of detention. Prosecutors were unable to explain to the court or to provide documents that became the basis for the criminal prosecution of Alexander Efremov 191 of UK of Ukraine (Misappropriation or embezzlement),” wrote Smirnov.

At the same time, the lawyer said that Ephraim will not be released because he was declared a suspect in another article of the Criminal code of suspicion in infringement of territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine, in support of the so-called “LNR”.
“No, I will not release (Ephraim to freedom),” – said Smirnov.
Recall the case of Ephraim is now considering Starobelsk district of Lugansk region. It extended the period of detention ex-the regional detention until 28 April.
