World Alert: American Paul Whelan convicted by Russia of spying, receives 16-year prison sentence
Whelan, a former Marine, was arrested at a Moscow hotel in December 2018. He maintained throughout the trial that he was framed and unaware that a flash drive he was handed by an acquaintance contained what Russian authorities have described as state secrets. The case has been repeatedly brought up by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
