A US citizen, Robert Woodland, has been sentenced to 12 years and six months in a maximum-security penal colony in Moscow after being found guilty of attempted drug trafficking. The Ostankino District Court of Moscow stated that Woodland was part of an organized group attempting to traffic large amounts of illegal drugs.
Woodland's lawyers have announced plans to appeal the ruling, arguing that his guilt has not been proven. They also highlighted Woodland's mental health issues, which were not taken into account during the trial.
