“I expect a call from Mary. When we talked about this a few weeks ago, we knew that she would be met by agents in federal prison today who will escort her on a flight, put her on a plane, and before she leaves for Moscow, I will have to contact her by phone, ” he said.

According to him, he was not informed of the flight information and he does not know exactly how it will fly.

“I know that people tried to guess which flight it would be. Perhaps this is an evening flight from Miami, because at six o'clock from Miami to Moscow the Aeroflot flight flies, but I can not confirm this information. As soon as I get information that she is on board the plane, I will inform my father and the rest will know about it, ”Driscoll added.

Earlier, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Police Department for Control and Deportation said it had taken Butina into custody after she was released from federal prison.

On October 24, it became known that the Russian woman signed the documents of release.

She is expected to arrive in Moscow on the morning of October 26.
