“This information has not been verified. Apparently someone is misreading documents and press releases. He was detained in the summer, he has been subscribed since the summer [о невыезде]. So no one detained him or restricted his freedom. We have already completed the criminal investigation. They made partial confessions. The investigation is over. The case will go to trial soon. Therefore, there is no new entry into this story,” said the blogger’s lawyer.
Erokhin added that even the investigator in his case was surprised by the news of Forks’ latest arrest.
“Hilmi is at home. The researcher was also surprised. He said someone misread the information somehow. The investigator will also clarify the issue. They asked if there were any questions, he said there were no questions,” Erokhin concluded.
