Good day and thank you for your time and attention.
My friend, a political refugee from Russia, needs help – several fabricated criminal cases have been filed against him and he needs a lawyer.
On November 1st, he was driving with his wife and stepson from Florida to Illinois. In Georgia, they were stopped by a police officer for speeding, but he was eventually arrested, explaining that my friend had a warrant issued for him by the state of Virginia, where he had never physically been. He spent about 20 days in jail in Georgia before being taken to Virginia, where he remains to this day awaiting trial.
His wife and I looked up the information about his case online (https://eapps.courts.state.va.us/ocis/landing) – it only included my friend’s full name (Aleksandr Borodavin), the dates of the crimes (08/25/2023), the date of the filing of the charges (03/14/2024), and the type of crime, you can check that info yourself. This already looked suspicious at that moment, considering that we have evidence (witnesses and bank statements) that he was not in Virginia at that time. Everything looks like he was set up by someone with connections in the police and/or government circles. Moreover, this someone must be from the Russian-speaking community, since the combination of my friend’s first and last names is unlikely to come to American mind due to its untypicality. And there is a suspicion that this is one of the former employers who at some point refused to pay my friend’s salary, to which he replied that he would call the New York Department of Labor, and the employer said that he should not do this or he would regret coming to the US at all.
Be that as it may, the charges are fictitious and my friend needs help. We managed to find him a lawyer, but his services are not cheap – $11,500 for representation in court. We have managed to collect $6,500 ourselves so far, and we need to raise another $5,000 by 12/12/2024 when his next trial takes place.
My friend, his wife and I are asking for your help in protecting him from the injustice that my friend has suffered. Since he is currently seeking political asylum in the United States, any criminal case against him will prevent him from receiving asylum, and he will most likely be deported back to Russia, where he will most likely be imprisoned for his opposition activities – supporting Navalny and protesting against the Putin regime.
We beg you, help with whatever you can, and may God bless you.
