The New York State Attorney's Office has changed its mind about negotiating with our roofers.
⠀.
Remember the Russian couple who climbed the spire of the Empire State Building on July 1st? Ivan Kuznetsov (known as Birkos) and Angelina Nikolaou climbed without insurance to a height of about 443 meters and there Ivan proposed marriage to Angelina. Below, both were arrested by the police.
This was a funny video. She demanded more pictures from him. And he convinced her that it was dangerous and she had to get off. I understand that the engine in their future family is a girl. In the picture she has a hat with ears. But horns will also suit her.

They were charged with illegal entry into a building, endangering life and damage to property. If convicted, they face up to seven years in prison.

Since the summer, the defense has been negotiating with the prosecutor's office on a deal. In July I wrote that it is likely that they will have to sweep the streets. According to the lawyer, they were indeed offered service work, but today the lawyer said that the attorney's office withdrew the deal at the last minute.

On the eve of the trial, the couple gave a long interview to Good Morning America, they said they were ready to answer for what they had done, but called the immigration an art for which they were ready to die. It was not stated why the attorney's office refused the deal; Perhaps they felt that the participants in the show did not repent enough.

For the couple, it's not just a matter of timing. They live in the US on a talent visa and may be deported. In the worst case, there will be a prison sentence and then deportation.
