(Moscow) The Russian Prosecutor’s Office announced Thursday that American journalist Evan Gershkovich will soon be tried in Yekaterinburg, in the Urals, for “espionage”, accusing him of having collected information on a tank factory on behalf of the CIA.
“The criminal case was sent to the Sverdlovsk Regional Court for consideration on the merits,” the Russian prosecutor’s office said, noting that the reporter, detained for more than a year, had “collected secret information” about the Uralvagonzavod company on behalf of American intelligence.
