The trial of the ex-commander of the 58th Army, General Ivan Popov, may be rescheduled…
The trial in the case of the ex-commander of the 58th Army, General Ivan Popov, may be moved to the territory of Zaporozhye. The prosecution has not yet decided on this.
The Code of Criminal Procedure states that the trial must take place where the crime was committed. In the case of Popov, this is Zaporozhye. At the same time, according to Mash, for security reasons the prosecution wants the trial to take place in Moscow.
But a violation of jurisdiction may become a reason for overturning a verdict, including an acquittal. Popov's lawyer told us about this.

In fact, from the construction of the accusation that the investigation brought forward, the place where the crime was committed, according to the investigation, is the Zaporozhye region, but they themselves think differently. And in accordance with the Constitution and the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, violation of jurisdiction entails the unconditional cancellation of any verdict, be it acquittal or conviction.
At the same time, the defense insists on considering the case on the territory of Zaporozhye.
