Afanasyev was one of the defendants in the case of the so-called “Sentsov group terrorists”.
He had been arrested before the FSB officers took Oleg Sentsov and Oleksandr Kolchenko into custody.
Afanasyev was detained in Simferopol on May 9, 2014. On July 31, 2015, speaking in the court during the trial of Oleg Sentsov and Oleksandr Kolchenko as a witness for the prosecution, Afanasyev retracted his previous testimony, saying they were obtained by torture.
