“During the trial, some circumstances of the case presented by the prosecutor were actually falsified. When we demanded documents confirming the circumstances to which the prosecutor referred, they were given to us during the break, and we found out that it was so, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Musatov said that the defense had informed the court, but the judge refused to take this fact into account.
Earlier, Vinnik’s Greek lawyer Zoe Konstantopoulou noted that the Russian citizen “was charged with a crime on the Internet at a time when he was already in custody in Greece and had no access to the Internet, as well as no way to carry out this crime."
Alexander Vinnik was arrested in Greece in 2017 at the request of the United States, where he is accused of creating, without a license from the American authorities, a cryptocurrency exchange through which, according to the United States, billions of dollars are laundered.
