The prosecutor requested 9.5 years in prison for US basketball player Brittney Griner, accused of smuggling hash oil. It is reported by RIA Novosti.


“By partial addition, I finally ask you to appoint nine years and six months in prison with a sentence in a general regime colony with a fine of 1 million rubles,” the state prosecutor said during a meeting of the Khimki Court of the Moscow Region.

Greiner was detained on February 18 at Sheremetyevo Airport on suspicion of trying to illegally import banned substances into Russia.

Her luggage was checked using X-ray equipment and found vapes (cartridges for an electronic heating system) with cannabis oil.
