"Egor's wife Dasha called me. She said that people in uniform had broken into their place at 6 a. m., they did not show their ID. They seized all the equipment, made Egor lie facedown on the floor and took him away. There was no time to inform the lawyer. I do not know where my kid is right now. I have called the police departments in the districts; he is not there. The Investigating Committee does not tell me anything, and neither does the FSB," Yulia Labrik said.
As lawyer Alexei Kychin told 7x7, Egor Butakov is in the Investigating Committee’s Directorate for Arkhangelsk Oblast. The lawyer is not allowed to see him.
