Ex-US Marine May Spend 18 Years In A Russian Prison
Russian prosecutors asked a court on Monday to sentence former US Marine Paul Whelan.
Whelan is accused of being at least a ranking US military intelligence colonel, caught red-handed trying to obtain secrets.
According to Reuters, Whelan's lawyer said prosecutors want his client sentenced to 18 years in a maximum security prison.
The prosecution has made a very harsh demand, itβs absolutely unjustified and groundless.
To be honest, weβre in shock.
