Early in the morning, searches are carried out at the homes of four families in Dubna and the nearby village of Zaprudne. At least five people were taken for interrogation to the Investigative Committee in the city of Dmitrov and soon released.
Investigator A. Egorov requests a measure of restraint for Galina Inkina in the form of house arrest. But since she is a pensioner, suffers from a number of chronic diseases that require constant medical examination, and lives alone in a one-room apartment, the judge of the Taldom District Court, Sergey Mukhortov, imposes a ban on certain actions on the believer.
Not far from Novorossiysk, traffic police officers stop a car in which Dmitry Mladov is traveling with his wife. They are taken to the anti-extremism department for interrogation. The man is searched and sent to a temporary detention facility in the city of Taldoma (Moscow region), 1,600 km from Novorossiysk.
Judge of the Taldomsky District Court of the Moscow Region Sergey Mukhortov chooses a measure of restraint for Dmitry Mladov in the form of detention. The believer is taken to the pre-trial detention center in the city of Sergiev Posad.
The Moscow Regional Court, having spent less than a minute in the deliberation room, leaves Dmitriy Mladov under arrest.
The court leaves Dmitri Mladov in custody. This decision is made despite the fact that the defense provides positive characteristics of the believer, documents on the presence of a widowed retired mother on his dependents, as well as certificates about Mladov's chronic illnesses.
The defense points out that the investigation arbitrarily interpreted the words of Galina Inkina. She said during interrogation that Mladov came to her, talked about the Bible and helped with the housework, but the investigation interpreted this statement as follows: the man "committed a crime that fits under Article 282.2 (2) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation."
The lawyer emphasizes that the proceedings are slow, the suspect has not been detained or charged for several years. According to the lawyer, this has nothing to do with the "degree of danger to the suspect's society", which the investigator focuses on when seeking an extension of the custody.
Dmitriy Mladov is in pre-trial detention center No. 1 in the city of Noginsk. After passing quarantine, he was transferred to a double cell. The believer regularly receives letters, he has a Bible.
