WASHINGTON, July 6 – RIA Novosti. In a statement from the White House, it was stated that US President Joe Biden met with the wife of basketball player Brittney Griner, who was arrested in Russia, and wrote a letter that he plans to send to the athlete on Wednesday.
“The President has instructed the national security team to remain in constant contact with the family of Sherell and Brittney, and the families of other Americans illegally held abroad,” the statement said.
Greiner, who is facing 5 to 10 years in prison in Russia, had previously written a letter in which he admitted he feared the possibility of staying permanently in a Russian prison and urging every effort to be made to have him returned to the United States.
Greiner has been detained in Russia for several months, accused of drug trafficking. Griner, who arrived by plane from New York in February, was detained at Sheremetyevo Airport. An examination of her hand luggage revealed that the American woman had “vapors” with a liquid with a specific odor. In the examination, it was determined that the liquid was cannabis oil. A criminal case was opened for drug trafficking and he was arrested. The sanction of the article provides for a prison sentence of five to 10 years.
