MOSCOW — A court in Moscow has commissioned a new expert study in the case of an acclaimed theatre and film director accused of embezzlement, and adjourned the hearings for two months.
The court on Monday upheld a motion by Kirill Serebrennikov’s defence that claimed that the charges against him are based on the flimsy conclusions of a previous study of his theatre’s finances.
Monday’s ruling came a week after Serebrennikov, one of Russia’s most prominent directors, was released from house arrest after 20 months in custody.
