Mark Feygin, the Russian lawyer of a Ukrainian journalist Roman Sushchenko whom Russia accuses of “espionage”, has said that it was a “family friend” who had tipped the Russian Federal Security Service which led to Sushchenko’s arrest in Moscow Sept. 30, TV Channel 5 reports.
“He [Roman Sushchenko] visited his brother in Moscow several times. He contacted a family friend. A family friend simply had him locked up. That’s it,” said the lawyer.
