A court in Thailand has acquitted a self-styled Russian sex guru and a Belarusian model who claims to have evidence of Moscow’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election on charges of violating labor laws, a lawyer says.
The lawyer — who represented Aleksandr Kirillov and Anastasia Vashukevich, known by the pseudonym Nastya Rybka, at the court hearing, said on April 17 that the dropped charges were minor compared to newer charges lodged against the defendants. He spoke to reporters on condition that he not be identified by name.
