The prosecutor's office supported the suspension of the blogger Lercek's case until her recovery.

The state prosecution requests that blogger Valeria Chekalina (Lercek) be given a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions and that her case be suspended due to her health condition. This was reported on March 16 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the courtroom.

In addition, the prosecutor requests that the case of Valeria Chekalina be separated into separate proceedings and that the case be changed in the same composition as that of Artyom Chekalin.

Earlier that day, Lercek's defense asked for the suspension of proceedings in the case of illegal withdrawal of funds abroad due to her serious health condition.
