MOSCOW, January 16 (RAPSI) – Prosecutors on Thursday demanded a 170,000-ruble (about $3,000) fine as a punishment for Russian citizen Alexey Veresov charged with murder threats against a judge, RAPSI reported from the Meshchansky District Court of Moscow.

The case is heard under a special procedure, as the defendant pleaded guilty in full. The procedure constitutes a trial without examining evidence, witness questioning and envisages a lesser sentence than prescribed by law.
