Snowden spends almost all his savings. MOSCOW, November 12 (Itar-Tass World Service) - Everything that is being exposed over the phone tapping by the U.S. security services in Germany, France and other European countries “is based on the classified materials that fugitive CIA contractor Edward Snowden passed to the journalists back in Hong Kong,” head of the Russian Public Chamber committee for security problems of people and cooperation with the law enforcement agencies and chairman of the Public Council at the Russian Interior Ministry lawyer Anatoly Kucherena said. He became widely known recently as a lawyer, who protects Edward Snowden’s interests in Russia. Member of the presidium of the Association of Russian Lawyers Mikhail Barshchevsky discussed Snowden’s status and his life in Russia with Kucherena. Rossiiskaya Gazeta daily published the interview on Tuesday. Speaking on what money Snowden lives the lawyer pledged that the latter “has never traded secrets and certainly did not receive any money for the information, which he passed being in Hong Kong.” “I can confirm this with confidence proceeding from his current position,” Kucherena said. “The savings, which he had, he almost completely spent for food, housing rent, guarding and etc. Meanwhile, some organizations and active people give some aid to him, including the material aid,” he said.
