The Russian spy Boetina must wait for her trial in prison

A federal judge in the United States ruled Wednesday that Maria Boetina should serve her entire trial in custody. According to justice, the 29 – year – old Russian, accused of spying, wants to leave the country. This would be evident, among other things, from the fact that she transferred $ 3,500 (over 3,000 euros) to a Russian bank account.

That she wants to leave the country would also be obvious from the fact that the Russians bought moving boxes. She also reportedly told her owner that she wanted to leave her house on July 31st. Boetina faces ten years in prison for working as a foreign agent in the United States.

Transcripts of Conversations

Prosecutors showed a photo of Boetina at a meeting Wednesday with a man who is probably working for Russian intelligence services. They also published transcripts of conversations between Boetina and a Russian official.

In one of the interviews the official said that Boetina should not have a specific meeting visit "as an observer Russian". "The risk of provocation and the media hype that can follow is too high." Boetina responds that she will be careful

"I agree with you! I did not intend to leave without you at all! Only incognito! All must now be calm and careful. "

Sex Offered

According to the judicial system, Boetina would also have links to Russian oligarchs. She would also have a relationship with an American to "influence political activities in the United States". Boetina would certainly have offered "sex once in exchange for a position within a particular organization of interest".

In the justice document, no person or organization is mentioned by name, but it is likely to be the American NRA arms lobby, of which Boetina is a member. Thanks to this platform, she has already tried to establish contacts with conservative politicians. Among other things, in 2016 she tried to connect Russian Senator Aleksandr Torsjin, who is considered to be Boetina's mentor, with Donald Trump. He was then presidential candidate for the Republican Party.

Boetina's lawyer said earlier that US justice is blowing everything up. Boetina would only like to commit to better relations between Russia and the United States.
