MOSCOW, August 3 - RAPSI. The Lipetsk Regional Investigative Department will look into the alleged hacking of the e-mail, Skype and Facebook accounts of three defense attorneys, the Agora human rights association told the Russian Legal Information Agency on Friday.

Dmitry Dinze, the counsel for the Voyna art group, is an alleged victim in the case.

"Your application on the violation of the privacy and confidentiality of correspondence in the hacking of the e-mail accounts and servers used by lawyers cooperating with Agora has been forwarded to the Lipetsk Regional Investigative Department for review," the Investigative Committee reported. Unidentified individuals hacked the accounts of Dinze, Moscow defense attorney Svetlana Sodorkina and her Voronezh colleague Olga Gnezdilova in May.

The aggrieved parties believe that the incident is connected with their professional activities.

Dinze acted as the counsel for Oleg Vorotnikov, a Voyna member who was arrested with fellow member Leonid Nikolayev last November at the group's "Revolution Palace" rally. At the rally, artists overturned a police car near Mikhailovsky Palace in St. Petersburg. The culprits were accused of disorderly conduct, which is punishable by up to five years in prison.

In January, the St. Petersburg Court extended the accused's detention until February 24.

In late February, another district court granted the accused release on 300,000 ruble bail.
