Russia Sentences American Ex-Medpolymerprom Chairman to 15 Years for Espionage
Dec 24, 2024, 10:18 AM
A Moscow court has sentenced American citizen Gene Spector, the former chairman of the board of directors of the Medpolymerprom group, to 15 years in a maximum-security prison on espionage charges. Additionally, he was fined 14 million rubles. Spector, who was born in Russia and later emigrated to the United States, was previously arrested in 2020 and sentenced in 2021 to three and a half years in prison for acting as an intermediary in bribery. He was accused of facilitating a bribe to an aide of a former Russian deputy prime minister. The details of the espionage charges remain undisclosed, as the trial was held behind closed doors.
