Prigozhin Says He’ll Check His Graveyard and ‘Torture Cellar’ for Detained U.S. Reporter
A Wall Street Journal reporter has been arrested in Russia and accused of espionage.
Evan Gershkovich, a U.S. citizen, was detained in the west-central city of Yekaterinburg, the Federal Security Service confirmed to state media. The FSB says that Gershkovich was “suspected of spying in the interests of the U.S. government” and that his allegedly “illegal activities… have been stopped.”
Local reports claim he was reporting on the Wagner paramilitary force before he was detained.
