On June 15, 2018, Kyiv’s Shevchenkivsky District Court granted a petition of SAPO prosecutors on the extension of procedural obligations for Nasirov. He is obliged to wear an ankle monitor, not to leave Kyiv, to hand over his passports, to come to the investigator, judge or prosecutor when requested and provide information about the change of his residence.
