The Petrodvortsovy District Court in St. Petersburg ordered two young men from Peterhof held in pretrial detention until April 2, according to a local news report from February 2026.
Police say they found 1.5 kilograms of cannabis plants in a premises on Ioninskaya Street. Investigators allege possession and attempted sale. The two men had asked for house arrest or other lighter restrictions, but the court refused.
The local report prints only first names, Sergey and Kirill, so we refer to them as S. and K. The investigation is ongoing, and no verdict has been reported.
Why it matters: Here, the court kept the pair in detention for about two months while the investigation continues, and refused the lighter measures they asked for.
