About this correspondent TASS said Russian lawyer Alexei Tarasov.

“At this moment we are filing a petition in the court of the city of Wichita (Kansas) to set bail for her in the amount of up to $7 thousand. If the court agrees, Bogdana Osipova will be released until the trial, which is scheduled for December 12,” the lawyer said.

Osipova moved to the United States in 2003 year, then she took the name of her second husband - Mobley. According to investigators, in the same year she took out one child from her first marriage from the first marriage and one from the second. After returning to Russia, she gave birth to her third child. It was reported that the court, which approved her divorce from a US citizen, decided to return the children to the father.

The woman repeatedly contacted the former spouse and asked him to send her money, but did not give her address and did not allow her to see the children. In 2017, Osipova returned to the US, where she was detained and accused of kidnapping and extortion.

The woman was initially detained in a prison psychiatric hospital, since her condition required confirmation of sanity through a medical examination. At the end of July 2018, on the basis of expert evidence, the judge stated that Osipova could be brought to trial, and she was transferred to a regular prison.

Osipova has dual citizenship: Russia and the United States. In 2014, the one-year-old daughter of a woman was wanted. In a statement, the father of the child said that the girl could be with her mother in Russia. The Russian woman then returned to Russia, having escaped from her American husband. Bogdana escaped from her husband to Russia while being pregnant and gave birth to another child here. The Russian court decided to leave her two children from marriage with an American and determine their place of residence in Russia.

In September, Osipova once again arrived in the US 2017, to arrange for alimony. But she was detained by FBI agents, since she had previously been wanted for the abduction of a child. According to the decision of the American court, two young daughters who are citizens of Russia and the United States, after the divorce of the parents had to stay with their father. It was he who appealed to the FBI demanding the return of children and the punishment of the former wife.

The children's father appears at the trial as a witness for the prosecution.
