Judge Andrei Trubnikov, who on the 11th of June in the Shevchenkivskyi district court of Kiev had to choose the measure of restraint for the dog hunter Alexei Svyatogor took his self-refusal.

«The court took a decision: to fulfill the statement of the investigating judge Trubnikov about self-challenge», judge Yelena Meleshak has said.

Thus, the case was transferred to another judge.

«The reason for this decision was the fact that judge Trubnikov was a victim in criminal proceedings on suspicion of Svyatogor», judge Meleshak added.

Zooists, activists and representatives of the National Corps are still near the building and in the building of the court.
A spokeswoman for the Kyiv Shevchenko district court Olga Piven, said that the case will be considered by judge Tatyana Levitskaya.
