Reporter found guilty of spying in trial thought to have been rushed in preparation for prisoner swap
A Russian court has found the US journalist Evan Gershkovich guilty of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in prison, after a trial widely described as a sham.
Earlier on Friday, the prosecution asked for an 18-year jail term for the Wall Street Journal correspondent. Gershkovich, 32, has denied the charges and pleaded not guilty during a closed session on Friday.
