Russian Alexander Vinnik, who was found guilty of money laundering by a French court, spoke about the conditions of detention in an interview RT…
According to Vinnik, he was “morally destroyed” and in prison he is treated like a terrorist:
“I am in solitary confinement, in complete isolation. I am deprived of social contacts and cannot talk to anyone. I am constantly searched when I leave or enter the cell – it is very humiliating. “
Vinnik himself feels himself a victim of political relations between the United States and Russia.
“I am not guilty and still don’t understand why I was not acquitted in the absence of evidence in court,” he said.
Recall that in 2017 Vinnik was detained in Greece at the request of the American authorities.
In 2019, the Greek authorities decided to extradite Alexander Vinnik to France. He was extradited to France in January 2020. In December, he was found guilty of laundering funds through the BTC-e cryptocurrency exchange, sentenced to five years in prison and a € 100,000 fine.
At the end of June 2021, the Court of Appeal upheld the judgment of the first instance.
