According to him, at present, Maria is in prison.

The Russian woman was transferred there after she gave the other prisoner the phone number of her lawyer.

According to the girl’s father, “there’s no more absurd reason.”

“Now we are also faced with another serious problem - the lack of financial resources to protect our daughter. Ensuring the further work of lawyers requires a lot of money - we are talking about several million rubles, ”Butin added.

He also thanked all those who help the family and transfer funds to the “Maria Butina Foundation”. However, according to the source, this help is not enough.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that in Moscow, they were outraged at the hardening of Butina’s detention in an American prison.

In September, Russia's ombudsman, Tatyana Moskalkova, in an interview with FAN, spoke about the prospects for the cases of Konstantin Yaroshenko, Maria Butina, and Viktor Bout.
