Ksenia Tarakanova, a 49-year-old Russian citizen with a solid professional background in international corporations, presented her testimony to the Argentine courts about the events she experienced during her detention in Bariloche. With three university degrees in global economics, international relations, and marketing, and with experience in global companies such as Schwarzkopf, McDonald's, and Lukoil, Tarakanova describes herself as a self-sufficient, honest, and deeply law-abiding person.
he stated. His testimony highlights the seriousness of the situation and the negligence of the authorities towards a foreign citizen, revealing a failure to comply with legal protocols and provide medical care. Part of his testimony and images of the context of his detention can be seen in this informative video at YouTube, which provides additional details about the case.
Before her arrest, Tarakanova had arrived in Argentina as a tourist with concrete plans for an extended stay in Bariloche. She owns property in Moscow with sufficient passive income to support herself and planned to continue her life independently and legally in the country. During her stay, she consulted with around 15 lawyers and immigration experts to correctly and transparently process her residency, including temporary asylum and other legal alternatives through employment.
Tarakanova also denounced the falsity of the accusations against her and the manipulation of evidence, including illegal surveillance of her vehicle using electronic sensors installed at the request of the police. She described these acts as "absurd" and a violation of her personal rights and international conventions.
She also highlighted the solidarity and integration with the Russian community in Argentina, where she feels supported and backed in the face of the uncertainty and vulnerability caused by her detention. Her account underscores the importance of respecting the rights of foreign citizens and the need for transparent and fair judicial proceedings.
Finally, Tarakanova called for justice and respect for human rights: “I have told you my life story so that you can understand what kind of person I am... I have never been part of any criminal organizations or done anything illegal. This is all completely absurd,", she concluded. Her statement provides a detailed account of the irregular procedures that, according to her testimony, surround the arrest and connection to the Rudnev case, reaffirming his position of innocence and the need for an objective review of the judicial process.
The case of Ksenia Tarakanova, like that of so many others detained in connection with the Rudnev case, raises an inevitable question for the Public Prosecutor's Office and, in particular, to prosecutor Fernando Arrigo: why is a case being kept open without evidence, without real victims, and with obvious procedural irregularities?
