MOSCOW - Russian investigators have asked a court in Moscow to free detained U.S. investor Michael Calvey from custody at a hearing later this week and to place him under house arrest instead, the court said on Wednesday.
Russian courts agree in most cases with prosecutors’ recommendations about whether suspects should be detained before trial, so there is a strong possibility Calvey will be allowed out of jail on Thursday. “We also look forward to similar being made regarding Michael and Alexey’s four colleagues,” Baring Vostok said in a statement welcoming the move by investigators.
A hearing is scheduled for Thursday at the same court to decide on whether Calvey’s detention should be extended.
