Actor Nikita Dzhigurda expressed his opinion on the air of the show “There is a theme!” on the channel that the American basketball player Britney Griner will benefit financially from her trial after being arrested for exporting hash oil.
Greiner was arrested this winter on suspicion of trying to illegally import hash oil through Sheremetyevo airport, after which a criminal case was opened for drug trafficking. Greiner, 31, now faces 5 to 10 years in prison. The trial continues, the next meeting is scheduled for August 2. Media reported that US President Joe Biden backed a plan to swap Russian Viktor Bout for US Representatives Paul Whelan and Greiner. The basketball player was on the cover of the latest issue of Time magazine.
– I can say that I believe Brittney when she says she accidentally threw her in a bag. I have been to the United States several times. It’s legal in 30 states. And doctors actually prescribe different substances for the treatment of diseases.
And I understand that she, in her status, can throw it in a bag without thinking of anything. I am convinced that she, naturally, was not engaged in trade. I am firmly convinced that for Brittney this short stay in Russia will become a colossal PR, she will write a book, she will also touch millions.
From a business point of view, she has an advantage over Bout, who was broken and mocked for 14 years,” Dzhigurda said on .
Greiner has been a UMMC Yekaterinburg player since 2015. She won the Olympics twice with the USA team (2016, 2020).
