Russian national Maria Butina will be released from a Florida prison on 25 October, ten days before she was due to be deported to Russia for acting as an unregistered foreign agent.
“Lawyers have finally filed an appeal and it was accepted. Most importantly, Maria’s jail term has been reduced by 10 days. She will be released on 25 October”, Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the Russian parliament, wrote on Telegram.
