Gonzalo Lira is a former online dating coach and conspiracy theorist turned pro-Putin activist
Gonzolo was arrested for supporting the invading Putinist army.
Two days ago, he was set free on bail (his trial is pending) and he immediately announced that he will leave the country and cross the border into Hungary to ask for political asylum there.
Of course, as a US citizen, you cannot get political asylum in the European Union (which Hungary is a part of). By attempting to do so, he violated his bail conditions and is now in an even bigger mess than before.
Gonzalo revealed the locations of US and other countries’ journalists to the Russians.
He also constantly supported and justified the Russian invasion. This is what got him arrested. As in probably all civilized countries, supporting the enemy during times of war is a crime.
He hasn’t been tortured.
Sounds like a great man and a hero.
Of course, as a US citizen, you cannot get political asylum in the European Union (which Hungary is a part of).
Wrong. He was seeking asylum from being returned to the Ukraine to face charges in their kangaroo courts.
He wasn't fighting extradition to America, which admittedly might be hard if attempted. That has nothing to do with it.
Ukraine, you might recall, is NOT part of the EU. Sovereign states can offer asylum to whom ever they want, and I suspect Hungarfian judges would have looked favorably on his request. A lot of peoole in that region grew up with stories of relatives fleeing various Nazi regimes by crossing into nearby neighbor countries, which is exactly what he was attempting. Hungary, like all other EU countries is currently harboring thousands of Ukrainian draft dodgers.

Sure, Sport, and you know this how? I can believe him, and his video testimony on the matter, or I can believe you, random Freeper. What's your expertise on the matter? None!

You people are so predictable. If you have no facts to denigrate someone, use name calling!
Everyone substsntial did something before doing what they do now. I was a gas station pump jockey, a picture framer, and a bicycle messenger before becoming a successful software professional. What's the point of this factoid? As far as conspiracy theorist: anyone who believes JFK wasn't killed by a lone gunman, or that Biden didn't legitimately win 81 million votes is a "conspiracy theorist", at least according to lickspittle Biden apologists.
