An adviser to the former Sverdlovsk vice‑governor has been remanded in custody in Yekaterinburg.
Denis Lyakishev, a former adviser to Oleg Chemezov, the former vice‑governor of Sverdlovsk Region who is currently in pre‑trial detention, received 10 days’ arrest for petty hooliganism, the URALLIVE Telegram channel reports.
According to the administrative case materials, Lyakishev was seen near the entrance to the "Ploshchad 1905 Goda" metro station, next to the city administration building. The man attracted attention with provocative behavior and loud obscene language.
On September 30 the Leninsky District Court issued the decision on administrative arrest. The Sverdlovsk Regional Court reviewed the appeal against it last Friday, October 3.
The appellate court left the main punishment of 10 days’ arrest unchanged.
Lyakishev had served as an adviser to Vice‑Governor Chemezov since 2021.
The former deputy governor Oleg Chemezov himself is accused of fraud on a particularly large scale (part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The case concerns the allocation of more than one million rubles from the regional budget to JSC "United Heat Supply Company" (OTSK, a subsidiary of JSC "Oblkommunenergo"), the EAN agency writes. As a preventive measure, the Verkh‑Isetsky District Court of Yekaterinburg ordered the former official to be held in custody until November 15.
