MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th January, 2019) Irish Ambassador in Russia Adrian McDaid will visit Paul Whelan, an Irish and US national arrested in Moscow on charges of espionage, in a pre-trial facility on Wednesday, attorney Vladimir Zherebenkov told Sputnik.
Whelan, 48, who also has Canadian and UK citizenship, was detained in Moscow in December. He denies the charges and insists he came to Russia only to attend a friend's wedding.
"Investigative proceedings have been suspended today, because the Russian Foreign Ministry has negotiated access to Whelan. The Irish ambassador will visit him today. The ministry has earlier agreed to the US ambassador visiting him twice a month," the attorney said.
