As follows from the materials, on September 2 last year, FSB officers took Lyalin from pre-trial detention center-1 (Matrosskaya Tishina) at 10 am. About an hour later they brought him home, to the Russkoye Pole cottage community near Moscow. At three o’clock in the afternoon Lyalin called his friend and asked him to take him to the Smolensk region. It was agreed that he would arrive to pick him up at about seven in the evening – not far from the house, between the village and SNT. At seven in the evening Lyalin went into the kitchen of his house, where his child and other relatives were, and told them that he was leaving, and then disappeared (he went through the fence into the field). The FSB Internal Security Service officers had to write a report about the escape.
Meanwhile, at the beginning of eight, Lyalin got into a Ford Transit (motorhome) waiting for him at a pre-agreed place. He told a friend that on the way he would need to “stop at the Gorbushkin Dvor shopping center and buy a phone, SIM cards and some kind of technical device.” Together they went to spend the night with a friend in the settlement of Pervomaiskoye (not far from Vnukovo), and in the morning they went to Gorbushka, where the friend bought him a Samsung phone. Then Lyalin himself went to the shopping center “to buy something and returned about three hours later.” Afterwards they returned to their friend’s house again and an hour later they drove towards Belarus. Lyalin was driving in the “living” compartment of the Ford and was looking for a person who would take him to Warsaw. By the night of September 3, a friend dropped Lyalin off somewhere on the highway in the Smolensk region and left, and Lyalin went further to the address from which a certain Artem was supposed to pick him up for further shipment to Europe. But Artem did not show up at the appointed time and place. Therefore, Lyalin returned to his starting point and at 16:30 he was detained by FSB officers near the Lukoil gas station at the 455th kilometer of the M-1 Belarus highway. About seven hours later, Lyalin was returned to the Matrosskaya Silence cell.
In his testimony, Lyalin explained that his “escape was not caused by a desire to evade responsibility,” but was necessary “to implement the pre-trial agreement to the extent that its implementation was impossible while in custody.” According to the ex-lawyer, the main motive for his escape was that “outside the Russian Federation, in the UAE, he stores data that may be of interest to operational employees, but his personal presence is necessary to obtain it.” This is confirmed by his appeal to the investigator, which was submitted “at the time of the escape”, where “his motives were indicated in detail.”
In court, Lyalin outlined a slightly different version of why he decided to escape after concluding a pre-trial agreement: due to “strong emotional disturbance and breakdown caused by a meeting with close relatives during an investigative action.” The ex-lawyer explained to the court that after a telephone conversation with his wife, he returned to Smolensk, where he was detained by security forces. In fact, correspondence with his wife was found in his new Samsung.
