Ukrainian citizens Afanasyev, Soloshenko convicted in Russia submit pardon appeals
Ukrainian citizens Hennadiy Afanasyev and Yuriy Soloshenko convicted in Russia have filed their pardon appeals with the Russian president, lawyer Alexander Popkov told Interfax on Monday.
"Russian representatives strongly recommended my client in Moscow to write a pardon appeal, and he has done so. He has written an appeal without pleading guilty," said Popkov, who represents the interests of Afanasyev.
Afanasyev was offered to file a pardon appeal with the president "for facilitation of the procedure of transfer to Ukraine, as the simplest method," the lawyer said.
"As far as I know, Yuriy Soloshenko has also written a pardon appeal," the lawyer said.
