How the Brittney Griner prisoner swap with Russia was done – BBC News


The US and Russia have exchanged jailed US basketball star Brittney Griner for notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout.

President Joe Biden said Griner was safe and on a plane home from the United Arab Emirates.

Griner was arrested at a Moscow airport in February for possessing cannabis oil and last month sent to a penal colony.

The Biden administration proposed a prisoner exchange in July, aware Moscow had long sought Bout’s release.

Dubbed the "merchant of death" Bout was held in an American prison for 12 years.
