Brittney Griner
For the first time since Brittney Griners arrest almost three
months ago, Russia appears to have publicly signaled its asking
price for her safe return, if multiple reports by Russian state
media are to be believed.
Russia is looking to exchange the WNBA star in a prisoner swap
for notorious convicted arms trafficker Viktor Bout, several
state-owned Russian news outlets reported Friday, citing unnamed
government sources.
Bout, whose exploits earned him the nickname the Merchant of
Death, flooded fierce conflicts in Africa and the Middle East
with weapons, U.S. authorities say. He was arrested during a
sting operation in Thailand in 2008, extradited to the U.S. and
sentenced to 25 years for conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens,
delivery of anti-aircraft missiles and providing aid to a
terrorist organization.
After Bouts arrest, the U.S. alleged that his Russian allies
tried to block his extradition from Thailand to America by
bribing key witnesses to give false testimony. Since his 2012
conviction, Bout has been at the top of Russias prisoner
exchange wish list and has been linked repeatedly in the Russian
state media with potential swaps involving jailed Americans that
havent come to fruition.
U.S. ambassador to Russia John Sullivan visited Russias
Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow on Wednesday, but the
State Department did not disclose what they discussed. A
spokesperson for the State Department declined comment to Yahoo
Sports on Friday when asked if negotiations for Griners release
were underway and if Russia was seeking a trade for Bout.
Due to operational and privacy concerns, we are unable to
discuss specific details, the spokesperson said.
While one Russian state media report quoted an unnamed source
who described a potential Griner-for-Bout exchange as likely,
experts in Russian diplomacy viewed that skeptically. William
Pomeranz, a professor of Russian law and the acting director of
the Kennan Institute, told Yahoo Sports that he interprets the
reports as a signal that Russia really wants to make that
trade but cautioned that they give no indication of the U.S.s
willingness.
You can keep the stupid mouthy lesbian nigger! Enjoy!
