Moscow, Russia: Family members of a Russian man charged with hacking in the United States insist he is innocent and fear he will die in custody if he doesn't have his medication.
Roman Seleznev, son of a prominent Russian lawmaker, was arrested on bank fraud and other charges earlier this week. US authorities allege that he hacked into computers at hundreds of retail businesses including the Phoenix Zoo.
Seleznev's father, Valery, told a televised news conference on Friday that his son, who was left brain-damaged after a 2011 bombing in Marrakech, will die without his medicine.
"There are no medical services there at all, treatment is not available," Seleznev said. When asked how his son is going to manage without prescription drugs the lawmaker said: "He will die."
He is accused of marketing and selling those credit card numbers on "criminally inspired websites" and using servers in Virginia, Russia, Ukraine and other parts of the world.
Otisko, who has been dating Seleznev for a year, said he was never wealthy and the vacation on the Maldives was a luxury for them.
