“In ten of the twelve cells of the block for those sentenced to life imprisonment, the prisoners were interested in how they could get into the troops to participate in a special military operation, where to send applications,” said a member of the commission.
According to the interlocutor of RT, among such volunteers was the head of the Orekhovskaya organized criminal group, Sergei Butorin (Osya), who was sentenced to life imprisonment.
“Butorin said that he had a military specialty - the commander of a motorized rifle platoon, and he was ready to go to fight,” the source said.
The employees of the pre-trial detention center told the members of the PMC that not only life-sentenced prisoners express their readiness to go to the combat zone.
“Many ordinary prisoners say they want to join the army, they say that they used to serve in special forces or were officers, they ask where they should go,” a social worker quoted a prison employee as saying.
Earlier, Sergei Butorin (Osya) shared with members of the PMC of Moscow his impressions of prison life in Spain, in a pre-trial detention center in northern Russia and in the Butyrsky pre-trial detention center in the capital.
In September 2011, Sergei Butorin was sentenced by the Moscow City Court to life imprisonment, having been found guilty of organizing the murders of 38 people and leading a criminal community.
Since 2017, he has been in the Butyrka pre-trial detention center in Moscow, where investigative actions are being carried out with him.
