Brittney Griner prisoner swap for ‘Merchant of Death’ on the table, Russian media claims

Brittney Griner was seen in a Russian courtroom on Friday and her pre-trial detention was extended for a month.

Griner was arrested in February at a Moscow airport for allegedly carrying vape cartridges containing oils derived from cannabis and could face up to 10 years in prison if she’s convicted.

However, a trade might be on the table. Russia’s TASS agency reported, citing a source, that talks were underway in a prisoner exchange – Griner for notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout.

Bout is in the middle of a 25-year sentence in federal prison after he was convicted of conspiracy to kill Americans relating to the support of a Colombian terrorist organization.
