A third criminal case has been initiated against volunteer Nadezhda Rossinskaya, known as Nadine Geisler from the «Army of Beauties», lawyer Alexey Pryanishnikov reported. This became known at the hearing on the extension of detention.
Rossinskaya is accused of «treason», the reason for the new case was a post, due to which the previous two cases were initiated against the volunteer. «All three criminal cases were initiated for the same post on an Instagram account not owned by Nadezhda,» Pryanishnikov clarified.
