“The policemen went into the cafe and said that Katya was oriented, she was taken to the police station,” she said. According to Natalia, the lawyer who called the department was told that it was not the local Ministry of Internal Affairs that worked, but the E center. “Katya’s further fate is unclear,” our interlocutor comments.
