During the court hearing on the case of the pranker Vitaly Sedyuk, who uncovered the buttocks during Jamala's speech at Eurovision-2017, he was released.

However, Vitali was chosen a measure of restraint - a personal obligation and limited movement abroad for 60 days.

A spokeswoman for the Kiev prosecutor's office, Nadezhda Maksimets, explained on her social network page why the brawler was not arrested.

The fact is that the charges submitted to him under the Criminal Code do not provide for punishment in the form of imprisonment.

"Sanction h. 1 st 296 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine does not provide for punishment in the form of imprisonment. In this case, it is not possible to apply a preventive measure in the form of detention in relation to a suspect, as it is not stipulated by the law, "Maksimets stressed..

An alternative to certain restraint, according to the speaker, is the failure to fulfill the duties assigned to him by Sedyuk. Then this can be the basis for changing the measure of restraint.

Recall, during his responses in the courtroom Vitaly Sedyuk said that he is proud of his actions, calls them creativity. In addition, Sedyuk stressed that he regretted the triumph of "Eurovision" because of heart disease. Otherwise, he might jump out at his speech.
