An investigation into a criminal
case opened by the Russian authorities against Ukrainian pilot, MP and member
of the Ukrainian delegation to PACE Nadia Savchenko, who is illegally accused
of involvement in the murder of Russian journalists in Donbas, has been
completed, the BBC's Russian Service reported.
All the materials of the case
have been sent to the prosecutor's office, the BBC said with reference to the press service of
the Russia's Investigative Committee.
If the prosecutors confirm the indictment, the case will be sent to
court.
UNIAN's memo. Savchenko was abducted by Russian-backed militants in Donbas last
summer, and then taken to Russia, where she was charged with being involved in
the death of Russian journalists.
However, the defense claims she
couldn't have been involved in the death as she had been captured before the
journalists were killed.
On December 15, Savchenko went on
hunger strike; late in April 2015, she started taking certain types of food.
On April 24, the Russian Investigative Committee brought final
charges against Savchenko. In addition
to the charges of being involved in the murder of two Russian journalists in
eastern Ukraine last June, Savchenko was accused of illegally crossing the
Russian border.
On May 5, the Investigative Committee extended the period of probing in
the Savchenko case until November 13, 2015.
On May 6, Moscow's Basmanny court extended the pilot's detention until
June 30, 2015.
On June 10, Moscow's City Court prolonged Savchenko's arrest until
September 30, 2015, at the Investigative Committee's request.
On July 1, the Moscow City Court upheld the decision of the Basmanny
Court of Moscow to extend the Savchenko's arrest until June 30.
