According to him, this is due to the fact that after being released from prison, a girl can be placed in an immigration center for several months, where she will await deportation to Russia.
“There is a real threat that Masha will be placed in an immigration receiver. There, theoretically, it could be several months. If the situation develops according to this scenario, then the daughter will be able to return home only at the end of the year, ”Butin said.
In turn, human rights activist Alexander Ionov said that the representatives of the defense are currently doing everything possible to avoid such a scenario.
According to him, the conditions of detention in such institutions in the United States are "absolutely inhuman and unacceptable."
On April 26, the court sentenced Butin to 18 months in prison for "conspiring to work illegally for the Russian government."
Subsequently, in the Federal Bureau of Prisons of the United States reported that the term of imprisonment Russian women reduced.
She will be released on October 25th.
