Russian-Born US Citizen Eugene Spector Sentenced to 15 Years in Maximum-Security Penal Colony for Espionage
Dec 24, 2024, 12:22 PM
A Moscow court has sentenced Eugene Spector, a Russian-born U.S. citizen and former executive at Medpolymerprom Group, to 15 years in a maximum-security penal colony on charges of espionage. Spector, who was already serving a 3.5-year sentence for bribery, received an additional 13 years for the espionage conviction, bringing his total sentence to 15 years. The court also imposed a fine of approximately $140,000. The espionage case was heard behind closed doors, and details about the charges have not been made public. Spector was previously convicted in 2022 for facilitating bribes to Anastasia Alekseyeva, an aide of former Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich. The espionage charges were introduced against him in August 2023.
