Since his release, Gershkovich learned that the FSB had a contingency plan to arrest him on another planned reporting trip to Siberia if the Yekaterinburg operation had failed. He believes the two meetings with the source were designed to convince Putin he was a spy and secure approval for the arrest.
“Reeling with shock, he was handcuffed, had a black sack placed over his head and was whisked into a van where he was placed in a chokehold and punched in the abdomen while being questioned.”
