Vashukevich was supposed to proceed through Russia in transit, as she was heading home to Belarus. As follows from the judicial database of Moscow, criminal or administrative cases against her in the Russian courts are not listed.
Leslie and Rybki case
In February 2018, eight citizens of Russia and Belarus were arrested at a hotel in Pattaya, where they were conducting a “training”. They were accused of organizing an illegal course and violating the country's labor legislation. In April, these charges were dropped due to amendments to the labor law that removed criminal liability for organizing trainings without registration.
While the court was considering this case, the police received new applications, in which the suspects were accused of creating a secret criminal community and providing intimate services. 15 January trial sentenced them to probation and actual punishment, which is equal to the prison term they have already served. All persons involved in the case admitted their guilt. They spent nine months in the remand prison.
