Amodel who claims to have evidence of a back-channel between the Kremlin and US President Donald Trump appeared in Court for the first time in Russia
Anastasia Vashukevich, 21, who also works as a sex coach, appeared calm as she was led in Nagatinsky District Court of Moscow in handcuffs by officers dressed in a black puffer jacket and a grey hooded top
She was detained at a Moscow airport on charges of prostitution after being deported from Thailand
A video emerged earlier this week showing how the Belarusian model was bundled into a wheelchair by an all-male team of suspected FSB agents as she arrived in Russia
She resists the officers as they try to bundle her into a wheelchair.'I don't want to go anywhere,' she insists
After failing to get her into the chair, one officer grabbed her legs and another clutched her around the shoulders, before she was carried towards a lift
Of those detaining her she said in a text message: 'They speak very rudely!' She stated: 'They say we must go with them for a couple of days somewhere!' Russian news agencies said that four of the seven people deported from Thailand who arrived in Moscow on Thursday were detained, including Vashukevich and Alexander Kirillov, her mentor in the sex training business
They may face up to six years in prison if convicted on charges of inducement to prostitution
In the early stages of their detention in Thailand, the sex training group sent a note to the US Embassy via an intermediary seeking help and political asylum
Vashukevich indicated she would turn over the recordings she claimed to have if the US could help secure her release but she later withdrew the offer, suggesting that she and Mr Deripaska had reached an agreement
Vashukevich, who has been in a Thai prison since February last year, was given a suspended sentence on Tuesday and ordered to be deported
The model, also known on social media as Nastya Rybka, earlier claimed to have recordings of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska talking about interference in the 2016 US election, but never released them
Vashukevich, also known as Nastya Rybka, has long claimed to have explosive audio recordings of a Russian oligarch allegedly proving a secret back channel link between Vladimir Putin's top henchmen and the Trump election campaign
Vashukevich and 'seduction guru' Alexander Kirillov, 39, had been imprisoned in Thailand last year for running a sex workshop for Russian tourists in Pattaya
They claimed the Kremlin was behind their detention in Thailand to gag their claims about alleged Russian dealings with top Donald Trump associates
Vashukevich claims she has inside information including some 16 hours of audio tapes from when she was mistress to Putin-friendly billionaire Oleg Deripaska who has been portrayed as a go-between
The model has claimed to be 'the only witness and the missing link in the connection between Russia and the US elections'
Videos emerged of her on a luxury yacht owned by metals tycoon Deripaska along with Russian deputy premier Sergei Prikhodko, a close Putin lieutenant, somewhere off the Norwegian coast in 2016
Deripaska's associates include Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign adviser, who had 'offered private briefings' to the Russian mogul
Vashukevich claims to have witnessed a number meetings in 2016 and 2017 between Deripaska and at least three unnamed Americans
After being detained in Thailand she said: 'They are trying to shut us up, and for a very long time
'I am ready to give you those missing details, and confirm them with audio and video regarding connections between our respected MPs and Manafort and Trump and all that hype around the American elections
I know a real lot.' Vashukevich was en route from Bangkok to Minsk, the Belarus capital, when she was detained with others at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow
Her friend Gregory Kogan said Russian and Belarusian diplomats in Thailand had pledged the group would be safe if they left for Russia or flew via Moscow
Interfax news agency reported Vashukevich and her associates face charges of inducement into prostitution
They face up to six years in prison if convicted.Vashukevich last year publicly asked the United States to help free her from a Thai detention centre in exchange for information on alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia
Kirillov's wife Kristina Sheremetyeva told Russian state media RIA-Novosti that he, Vashukevich and two others - Andrei Zhezhko and Maria Zharkova - had been detained
'For how long and for what reason, we don't know,' she said.She said there were no outstanding criminal investigations against them in Russia, yet their passports had been removed
'Now they start charging them with something… it would mean only one thing – violent faking of a crime
No other words for it, it is completely illegal'.Sheremetyeva also claimed that the FBI had grilled Vashukevich and Kirillov - also known as Alex Lesley - while she was in Thailand but she had not given away any information
'FBI agents visited them.To say the least, they posed as such.Alex wrote about that, and Nastya wrote about that
This really took place, when they were being held in an immigration prison in Bangkok,' she said
She said that the FBI agents demanded that Vashukevich and Kirillov share the passwords of their mobile phones and their phone data content
'For this information they promised to release them and to help somehow.But (they) did not give anyone anything, and the case has been dragged out for ten months
' Vashukevich last year told CNN from her Thai detention centre that she feared for her life because of her inside knowledge
'They can kill me here or in Russia,' she said.Airport police refused to comment on the incident
Vashukevich said she made the alleged audio tapes including details of sexual shenanigans during her time on board Deripaska's yacht
These were sent direct to Kirillov.Later the pair were among ten 'sex instructors' raided by police while running a late night course for Russian tourists at a luxury hotel
Attendees were 'given certificates in sexual skills after completing the training course', reported the Bangkok Post
Some 43 male and female tourists taking part in the session were interrogated and released without charge, according to reports
