“He is still being held in solitary confinement in a hospital. At the same time, Alexander Vinnik is deprived of walks and dates. He was refused a date with his mother, who came to say goodbye to him in Athens. Despite all efforts, she was not able to get to him, ”the lawyer said.
According to Musatov, Vinnik’s defense believes that keeping a Russian in solitary confinement “without the ability to see the sun and white light” is a form of torture.
“He is guarded by at least 15 people who provide the opportunity to look at the“ Russian Mr. Bitcoin ”to many, but not to his relatives,” he added.
At the same time, the lawyer expressed the view that Greece would be held accountable for violating Vinnik's rights to protection and to decent living conditions.
Earlier, Vinnik in an interview with RT asked to take care of his family - children and spouse.
Vinnik was detained in Athens in July 2017 at the request of the United States. He is accused of laundering up to $ 4 billion using a cryptocurrency exchange.
