Russia rules out prisoner swap for ex-US marine
MOSCOW: Russia has dismissed suggestions that a former US marine accused of spying could be involved in a prisoner swap.
Paul Whelan, 48, was detained in Moscow last month. His family says he was simply visiting Russia to attend a wedding.
His lawyer had raised the possibility of a prisoner exchange, telling ABC News that “it is not excluded” as a means of resolving the case.
But a Russian minister now says that it was “incorrect” to suggest this idea.
“It is impossible and incorrect to raise the issue in this way, when official charges have not even been put forward yet,” deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov told the ria novosti news agency on Friday.
