Russian prosecutors have sent the case of detained US reporter Evan Gershkovich to court after concluding that he collected information for the US Central Intelligence Agency about a Russian tank factory, they says in a statement.
The office of Russia’s General Prosecutor says Gershkovich’s case will be heard by a court in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg, where the reporter was arrested in March 2023 on suspicion of espionage.
Gershkovich and his employer reject the espionage allegation as false.
