Russian Maria Butina, charged with attempt to infiltrate the National rifle Association and other American political organizations as a secret agent of the Russian government, was transferred from prison in Columbia County to the jail in Alexandria, Virginia.

This was reported by the Washington Post, citing prison administration and the attorney Butinai.

“It is obvious that Mary Butina trying for more humiliation and psychological pressure to break,” reads a tweet from the Embassy.

The lawyer of Butynol Robert Driscoll stated that Butinai not informed about the reason of transfer to another prison and that he does not know whether the translation with the complaints of the Embassy.
