Allegedly had drugs in her vaping canisters when she landed in Russian (to play in the WNBA off season).Did she break a law there? I'm not intimate with the details on this.
If the article is true, I would imagine they would have used more serious drugs (say a bit of cocaine) and less ostensibly not in line with the accusation, the article says:Wasn't this kind of obvious? Maybe she had drugs, but high chance they were planted on her. Dictators love this move.
If the article is true, I would imagine they would have used more serious drugs (say a bit of cocaine) and less ostensibly not in line with the accusation, the article says:
Griner was arrested at an airport near Moscow last month after Russian authorities searched her luggage and allegedly found vape cartridges containing hashish oil. The Russian Federal Customs Service issued a statement on Saturday that it has opened a criminal investigation into the large-scale transportation of drugs, which in Russia can carry a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
Having some vape cartrdiges in your luggage sound personnal consumption and not large-scale transportion of drugs at all (it could be some strange translation or a bad report, I do not know), but it look like overcharging.
Thank you.Allegedly had drugs in her vaping canisters when she landed in Russian (to play in the WNBA off season).
