Moscow offers job to woman convicted by U.S. of being a Russian agent

Convicted Russian agent Maria Butina arrives at Sheremetyevo International Airport, outside Moscow, Russia, on Oct. 26, 2019.In her first public appearance since being deported by U.S. authorities who had jailed her for being a Russian agent, Maria Butina was on Monday offered a job by Moscow to defend Russians imprisoned abroad.

“I invite you to work in our group defending compatriots abroad. I’m sure together we’ll be able to do a lot of good for people who’ve ended up in tough situations abroad,” Moskalkova said.Butina, who flew back to Russia on Oct. 26 after being deported, did not say whether she would accept the offer made at what she called her first public appearance since she was mobbed by well-wishers in front of the media at the airport on her arrival home.

Moskalkova invited Butina to help her commission defend the rights of Russians abroad such as Konstantin Yaroshenko, a pilot serving 20 years in the United States for conspiracy to smuggle cocaine into the country. The case of Yaroshenko, who was arrested by U.S. special forces in Liberia in 2010, and others like it have prompted Russia to accuse the United States of hunting its citizens across the world.The United States has accused the Russians in question of specific crimes and sought their extradition and arrest with regard to those crimes.
