It follows from the case, on May 16 last year, a surveillance camera recorded the museum, as Serebryakov several times "slashed" the key to the painting of modern Latvian artist Vija Kelmins "Night Sky#2".

Prosecutor intends to require the defendant to probation. This penalty involves the early release of the convicted person, subject to good behavior. Lawyer from the very beginning of the trial states that "Fur is undergoing treatment by a therapist.
