Yaroshenko, who returned from the United States, said that after his arrest he was tortured "cruelly and professionally"

“I was abducted by the US authorities, intelligence agencies and the DEA and NSA of Liberia on May 28, 2010 from the hotel.

Then I was taken to the territory of the NSA headquarters of Liberia, there was a torture room, where I was tortured for two and a half days, with inhuman physical and psychological torture, ”the man said.

At some point, "I no longer wanted to come to my senses," Yaroshenko added.

“Still survived, survived.

They tortured me brutally, they tortured me professionally: they knew how to beat me, where to beat me, so that I would be alive, so that later they could deal with me.

They beat me on the heels, knocked out my teeth, beat off the internal organs, broke the bones in my legs.

Everything was brutal, very brutal, ”said the Russian.

On April 27, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that as a result of a long negotiation process between Moscow and Washington, Trevor Reed, who was convicted in Russia for attacking a policeman, was exchanged for Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko, who was convicted in the United States.
