Banker who worked as Russian secret agent to be released early, deported

"A man sentenced in May 2016 to 30 months in federal prison for conspiring to act as a secret agent for Russia will receive early release on Saturday and will then be deported, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has spokesman confirmed to CBS News.

Federal Bureau of Prisons documents obtained by CBS News cite good behavior in the agency’s decision to grant early release to Evgeny Buryakov, who collected intelligence for Russia while working for a Russian bank in New York City.

A spokesman for ICE confirmed that the agency will take custody of Buryakov on Saturday upon his release....

Buryakov worked at the New York office of Vnesheconombank, a Russian government-owned bank, before he was arrested in January 2014 and accused of being part of a spy ring that collected intelligence for the S.V.R., Russia’s foreign intelligence agency. Buryakov and two Russians with diplomatic immunity were recorded by the FBI allegedly conspiring to gather economic intelligence and recruit sources in New York City.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Vnesheconombank made headlines earlier this week when it confirmed to Reuters that in 2016 its representatives met with then candidate Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is now senior advisor to the President. Senate investigators plan to question Kushner about the meetings as part of a probe into Russian meddling in the presidential election."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or he would be killed upon return to Russia.

Early out on "good behavior".

Am I missing something here?

which is why he earned "good behavior"
The Russians will be naturally suspicious, and he may have an "accident" at some point.

And our side can be nasty, too.

I would tell him if he DOESN'T talk, we will deport him and make the Russians think he DID talk.
