Russia - Court refuses to send vlogger Edward Beal to jail

Russia (bbabo.net), - Popular video blogger Eduard Biel (on the Internet known under the pseudonym Edward Biel) will remain at large. True, a number of restrictions will still be imposed on it. This decision was made on Thursday by the Presnensky District Court of Moscow. Thus, the court refused to satisfy the submission of the penitentiary inspection, whose employees insisted on changing Bilu's preventive measure to detention. Currently, the blogger is at large, but a measure of restraint has been chosen in relation to him in the form of a ban on certain actions.

According to the investigation, on April 1, 2021, Beal, driving a technically sound Audi RS6 Avant, was moving along the Garden Ring at a speed of 115 km/h, thereby significantly exceeding the established speed limit on this section of the road. As a result, the driver drove into the oncoming lane on Novinsky Boulevard and collided with a Volkswagen Polo. As a result of the accident, the female driver of a foreign car received serious injuries.

In July last year, the Presnensky Court of Moscow sentenced Bill to two years of restriction of freedom and deprived him of his driver's license for three years. The prosecutor's office appealed the verdict, considering it too lenient. In September, the Moscow City Court upheld the verdict. Then the prosecutor's office filed a cassation. In mid-December, the second cassation court overturned the blogger's sentence and sent the case for a new trial to the court of first instance.

Recently, Moscow prosecutor Denis Popov said in an interview that the state prosecution would seek "fair punishment for what he had done" for Beal. The prosecutor recalled that the blogger, having several million subscribers, "almost always broadcast directly while driving a car."
