Lawyer Sarukhanov: “We believe that we will prove the innocence of Kasatkin”

Vladimir Sarukhanov, a lawyer of the Russian basketball player Daniil Kasatkin, said that he believes that he would be able to prove the innocence of the athlete.

In June, 26 -year -old Kasatkin was arrested in France at the request of the United States in connection with suspicion of involvement in cybercrime. He is suspected of participating in a hacker network engaged in extortion. The athlete does not admit his guilt. The basketball player was detained at the Paris airport, where he arrived with his bride.

– Classical bureaucracy. It seems that no one wants to insert sticks into the wheels, but the matter does not move off the ground. A lot of statements come. They all, according to the rules, must be registered and then answer them in writing. For comparison: we still cannot get permission for a visit to Daniel of the bride. That is, the positive answer was given, but the document is not.

Feels satisfactory. It is clear that physically Daniel is labeled. He simply does not have the opportunity to work in full force. And the appeal for permission for classes in the gym has not yet been satisfied. We are waiting for the verdict. This can be explained by ordinary bureaucracy and red tape. And so Kasatkin communicates with a lawyer and bride, has the right to calls. We believe that we will prove his innocence. Unfortunately, while he is in the isolation ward. But the despondency, which was present at the beginning, was replaced by a combat mood, – quotes Sarukhanov RT.
