In his second motion he asked for the court investigation provided that the case will be reconsidered.
Both representatives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that these motions were unfounded and asked the judge to not fulfill them.
The judge board came back from deliberation, and said that the motions were not fulfilled and scheduled the next hearing for 22 April, 11.00 a.m.
