Brittney Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, has been moved from a detention center outside of Moscow to a Russian penal colony to begin serving her nine-year sentence for having inadvertently carried less than a gram of cannabis oil in her suitcase when traveling to Moscow to finish her 7th season with a Russian basketball team.
Griner’s legal team said in a statement that her "exact current location or her final destination was unknown and that they expected to be notified through official mail, along with the U.S. Embassy, once she arrives - a process that can take up to two weeks.
