Two lawyers representing a defendant in a corruption trial are seeking the removal of the judge in the long-running case.
The lawyers, Paul Keres and Andri Rohtla, had already recently been fined by Harju County Court for non-attendance of a hearing on April 27. The pair say that coronavirus risks were their main concern and motivation in the incident.
Paul Keres said Tuesday that the court is biased, a situation unlikely to change as long as Kristina Valiste and two assistant judges, Vladimir Simagin and Peeter Kaasik, whose removal the lawyers are also seeking, are sitting.
