She regretted that the American side refused to deport Yaroshenko to Russia. According to her, according to the law, a Russian can again address this issue only after two years.
“I intend to ask the US government again, taking into account his state of health, his ten-year sentence, his family’s presence in Russia, maybe to make an exception and consider pardoning Yaroshenko,” she said.
In November 2018, Moskalkova announced that next year she would ask the U.S. authorities for the conditional release of Yaroshenko so that he could serve his sentence in Russia.
In 2011, a court in the United States sentenced Yaroshenko to 20 years in prison on charges of conspiracy to illegally transport drugs.
