She was traded for arms dealer Booth
Two-time Olympic basketball champion Brittney Griner exchanged for international arms dealer Viktor Bout. The exchange took place in Abu Dhabi (UAE).
The Individual Exchange Agreement was approved by US President Joe Biden. To secure Greiner’s exchange, Biden ordered Bout’s release and return to Russia.
Recall that the center of the Russian UMMC and the US team Greiner was arrested at Sheremetyevo airport in February this year for trying to illegally import hash oil into Russia. The court sentenced her to 9 years in prison for drug smuggling.
Greiner, 31, who plays as a center, won the women’s NBA championship, and as part of the US national team, she became the world champion and the winner of the Olympic Games twice.
Russian Bout was serving a 25-year prison sentence in the United States on charges of arms trafficking.
