A Russian court sentences US basketball star Brittney Griner to nine years in jail on drug charges.

Breaking News image

A Russian court has sentenced US basketball star Brittney Griner to nine years in prison on drug charges.

She was also ordered to pay a fine of one million roubles (£13,430; $16,300).

Ms Griner pleaded guilty to drug charges but has denied deliberately breaking the law.

The 31-year-old Olympic gold medallist was detained in February at an airport near Moscow when vape cartridges containing cannabis oil were found in her luggage.

Cannabis is illegal in Russia.
