Russia has charged a retired U. S. Marine arrested in Moscow with espionage, said his lawyer, who appealed the ruling.
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) said on December 31 that it had arrested Paul Whelan, who it said was caught carrying out an act of espionage.
The FSB has not disclosed the nature of his alleged espionage activities.
Defense lawyer Vladimir Zherebenkov said on January 3 that he had asked for Whelan to be released on bail pending the start of the trial.
