US basketball player Greiner appeals sentence in Russia
american basketball player Brittney Griner On August 15, he appealed the previous decision – a court in Khimki, near Moscow, found him guilty of drug trafficking and sentenced him to nine years in prison.
Greiner was detained in the Moscow region on February 17 this year. Law enforcement announced the detention of an American woman after the discovery of poppy oil in e-cigarette cartridges.
Greiner was found guilty of drug possession on July 7 during a possible trade deal. He testified in court 20 days later, stating that he accidentally smuggled cannabis into the territory of the Russian Federation.
Candidates for the swap were Viktor Bout, who is serving a sentence in an American prison for arms trafficking, as well as former American soldier Paul Whelan, who was sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2020 for spying for Russia. The Russian side also insists on inclusion on the exchange list of Russian Vadim Krasikov, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in Germany in 2021 for the murder of former Chechen field commander Zelimkhan Khangoshvili in Berlin.
Note that Greiner is a two-time Olympic champion. In the Russian Federation, he has been a member of the UMMC Yekaterinburg team since 2016.

Coach of Niko-Basket Valentin Berestnev He said the following about the transfer of American defender Jamir Moultrie:
“We had no experience. We do not have basketball players with Ukrainian passports to strengthen their strength. We had to look for a foreign player, in this case an American. This is a very difficult situation because half of the season has already passed. Everyone who is interested has already subscribed.
We took the risk and signed. We watched it during warm-up today. The first impression is quite positive. He is an extremely positive man, he serves the ball to the players and wants to join the team immediately, he does not distance himself from the team. We hope it will strengthen us. “With his experience, he will be the right player to help us win tough matches.”
Niko-Basket currently ranks eighth in the Super League with 5 wins in 17 matches.
