Overseas Network, August 5th. According to Tas News, a court in Moscow was convicted of smuggling and holding drugs on that day, and he was sentenced to a famous American basketball player and former American women's basketball national team athlete Brittney Griner ) 9 years in prison and fined 1 million rubles (about 110,000 yuan).

On February 17 this year, Grona was arrested at the Moscow Airport for trying to smuggle marble oil to Russia. She acknowledged guilty, but said she had hurriedly put the priumne oil into the bag without criminal intention. Russian prosecutors had previously requested that they were sentenced to 9 years and 6 months in prison and fined 1 million rubles. Grenin pleaded guilty to be considered a factor that reduces punishment, so the court's decision was slightly lower than the prosecutor's sentencing proposal.

As a member of the American Women's Blue National Team, Grina won the gold medal in the 2014 and 2018 World Championships and the 2016 and 2020 Olympic Games. Before she was arrested, it was playing for Russia's UMMC Yekolineburg team. (Overseas Network Hou Xingchuan)
