Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged to look into the case of Laurent Vinatier, who is accused of espionage. He also stated during his annual press conference that he was not aware of the case.
On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would examine the case of French researcher Laurent Vinatier, who has been imprisoned in Russia since June 2024 and could face trial on charges of “espionage.”
Questioned during his annual press conference, Vladimir Putin claimed he “knew nothing” about the case and was hearing about it for the first time. “I promise you that I will look into it. And if there is the slightest chance of resolving this matter in a positive way, if Russian law allows it, we will do everything possible,” he added.
