Punishment of an American basketball player Britney Griner in the case of drug trafficking is not excessive, said the commentator of Dmitri Guberniev .
The Khimki City Court on Thursday sentenced Greiner to 9 years in a penal colony and a fine of 1 million rubles in a drug trafficking case. US President Joe Biden called the sentence unacceptable and called on Russia to immediately release the basketball player.
“She violated the law of the Russian Federation, there is nothing special to comment on,” Guberniev told a correspondent. Serious crime, serious punishment. Of course, she is sorry, because she came to play basketball and certainly did not expect such an end to her stay in the country. But the law is the law. Let’s see if she gets traded, then her career will be saved.
“Nine years isn’t too long?” Did politics intervene here?
– Now, if you enter America with hash now, will they give you a bonus and invite you to the White House? No, you will be imprisoned, that’s for sure. And, I think, not even for nine years, but for 19.
Greiner, 31, has been playing for UMMC Yekaterinburg since 2015, winning the Olympics twice as part of Team USA (2016, 2020).
