Konstantin Yaroshenko was placed in the punishment cell of an American prison
28
Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko, who is serving an 20-year jail sentence for drug smuggling in an American prison, is placed in a punishment cell. “The Russian is seriously ill, and this measure of the administration of the Fort Dix prison (New Jersey) causes misunderstanding and outrage. This is a particularly egregious case that occurred two days after filing a petition for a new trial of him in the federal court of the Southern District of New York, "- told the Itar-Tass American lawyer convict Alexei Tarasov.
“What happened, and why the seriously ill Yaroshenko, suffering from many chronic illnesses resulting from torture during the arrest, was placed in a punishment cell, the prison authorities do not report,” the lawyer said. “This news I was urgently notified by me to the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in New York, so that diplomats could get involved in helping Konstantin Yaroshenko as soon as possible. "
On Monday, April 28, Yaroshenko’s defense presented to the US judicial authorities convincing evidence of the innocence of a Russian. Evidence in his favor was obtained in Ukraine, Liberia, and the United States.
7 September 2011, Konstantin Yaroshenko was convicted in the United States, where he was taken from Liberia after his arrest of 28 in May 2010. Undercover agents of the US Federal Drug Enforcement Administration allegedly caught the pilot in the criminal intent of transporting large quantities of cocaine. This case was the first when American intelligence services seized a Russian citizen on the territory of a third country and secretly took him to the United States.
