The journalist added that the former head of the Supreme Court was travelling in a Volkswagen as a passenger.
Vsevolod Knyazev is currently in the Solotvyno department of the Border Guard Service. They are clarifying the purpose of his stay near the state border and checking the version of a possible attempt to illegally cross the state border of Ukraine.
By the way, the detention of the former official by the border guards was denied by the Babel media outlet, citing its own anonymous sources.
