The charges on which the leading Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov, has been held under house arrest for more than two years  have been dismissed as an accounting error by a Moscow judge, according to Tass, the state news agency.

But this does not mean the director can be released. A further hearing has been scheduled for the end of this week. It is likely to be postponed because one of the attorneys is on holiday.
