You're listening to KFI AM 640, the Bill Handel show On Demand, on the Iheart Radio app.

This is Handel on the law, marginal legal advice where I tell you you have absolutely new case.

A quick word of warning to anybody who wants to visit Russia.

You do not want to go to Russia because they have a very nasty habit now of arresting people.

Americans, particularly, and then they're used as pawns in terms of, well, I wouldn't call them prisoner swaps.

But Russia will hang on to people, sentenced them to a zillion years.

I remember Brittany Griner, the basketball players, she got a bunch of years, was released after nine months.

Paul Whelan, who is, I think, a former military guy who was there, was arrested for espionage.

Did six years in prison there.

Well, there's this Russian-American by the name of, what is her name?

Casina, Carolina.

She's 33 years old.

She's an American citizen, and she went to russia

and russia after doing whatever investigation i arrested her for making a donation of about

fifty dollars to a u.s based charity supporting ukraine the russians are Russians are saying that this charity, what it does is

funnel arms, buys arms or the charity supplies military aid to Ukraine. And she said,

it's a charity. Well, we knew she was going to get a bunch of years because when an American citizen is arrested over there, it is years, years in prison.

So no surprise at all.

And she pleaded guilty to the charges because, you know, it was a sham trial.

She knew it.

And then she begs the court for forgiveness or for leniency.

The court says, no, these trials are held in secret.
