Brittney Griner Lands in U.S. After Russian Prisoner Swap

in Entertainment News


Brittney Griner is home.

The WNBA star has landed in the U.S. on Dec. 8 after been released from Russian custody. Brittney’s return to America comes nearly a year after the Phoenix Mercury center—who plays for a Russian team during the off-season—was arrested at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport in February for allegedly possessing vape cartridges that contained cannabis oil in her luggage.

The 32-year-old was originally found guilty on drug charges by a Russian court and sentenced to nine years in prison in August, but was traded for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who was 11 years into a 25-year sentence. President Joe Biden signed off on the trade, which took place in the UAE, per the official. However, American businessman Paul Whelan, who has been detained in Russia since 2018, was not included in the deal.

“Moments ago I spoke to Brittney Griner,” the president tweeted Dec. 8 showing casing pictures with Brittney’s wife, Cherelle Griner and Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House. “She is safe. She is on a plane. She is on her way home.”
