Model Apologizes in Claim of Russia Election Interference
Vashukevich was arrested in Thailand last February on prostitution charges. After her arrest she claimed she had audio tapes of Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska, who is close to President Vladimir Putin, talking about interference in the U.S. election.
She was deported from Thailand on Thursday after pleading guilty and was detained when her flight arrived in Moscow.
She told journalists in the court that she has apologized to Deripaska and says “I will no longer compromise him.”
