Brittney Greiner's defense team has appealed the verdict of the Khimki court, she said.
The prosecution had previously requested a 9.5-year prison sentence for the athlete. The lawyer insisted on an acquittal, but in the event of a guilty verdict, she requested a sentence with the minimum penalty and under certain conditions.
Looking back, Greiner was detained in February when she flew from New York to Moscow. An electronic cigarette containing cannabis oil was found in her carry-on luggage. She was charged with smuggling narcotic drugs.
On August 4th, the Moscow Shimki District Court sentenced her to nine years of imprisonment. She was also fined one million rubles.
Brittney Greiner is a two-time Olympic champion in 2016 and 2020, and a four-time world champion in 2014 and 2018. She has played for the Russian club UMMC Yekaterinburg since 2015.
