Overview
- Darina Rubinina, director of the New Me plastic surgery clinic in Moscow, was formally charged under Article 127.1 Part 2 (a, b) for trafficking involving minors.
- The Tverskoy District Court chose a pretrial measure banning certain actions rather than placing Rubinina in custody.
- The hearing on the measure was closed to protect personal data of the accused and information about minors, the judge said.
- The charge carries a potential prison term of three to ten years, according to the statute cited in court.
- Earlier in the same case, the head and clinical psychologist of the Families Commonwealth organization, Irina Rudnitskaya, was detained and has fully admitted guilt, while the clinic said it had no information about proceedings involving Rubinina.
