“At least once, Butina offered sex in exchange for a position in the organization that interested her to someone other than the“ American 1 ”(Republican Paul Erikson - Ed.),” Said the July indictment by Butina.

The prosecutor's office admitted that they had misinterpreted the text messages by Butina, on which the accusation of illegal lobbyism was laid. It was the girl's correspondence with her boyfriend, Erikson, a consultant to the Republican Party.

“Although the interpretation of this particular correspondence was erroneous, her other correspondence and case materials cast doubt on Butina’s statements that her relationship with“ American 1 ”(Erickson - ed.) Is so strong that she will appear in court after her release from arrest "- said in a statement of the court.

The prosecution insists that this is not enough to change the measure of restraint. According to the prosecutor’s office, if Butina is released from custody, she can try to escape from prosecution.

The article notes that Butina did not plead guilty and claims that she is not an agent of the Russian government.

The prosecutor’s office’s admission of an error played into the defense of Butina, who is trying to soften the case and win the release.

“The impact of this indictment, which has cast Ms. Butina as a Kremlin-trained seductress or as a spy hero who uses sex to gain access to power, cannot be overstated,” Butina’s lawyer, Robert Discroll, said in a statement.

The advocates of Butina intend to use the mistake of the prosecutors in order to present it in a new light to the public.

Recall Maria butina was arrested in the USA in July. She is accused of having tried to establish contacts with representatives of the American political elite in the interests of the Russian government in 2015 – 2017's. The US Justice Department claimed that it communicated with high-ranking officials of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the US Treasury, and also worked for a high-ranking Russian official who now holds a leading position in the Central Bank. Moscow considers the case against Butina political.
