    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    A 38-year-old German man was arrested at St Petersburg airport after Russian customs found gummy bear sweets containing cannabis in his luggage.

    In an interview last week with US journalist Tucker Carlson, Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed long-standing rumours that the Kremlin was considering a prisoner swap with Vadim Krasikov, who was jailed in Germany after murdering a Chechen dissident in a park in Berlin in 2019.

    According to a statement from Russian customs, the man explained he had bought the cannabis gummies in Germany, where they can be used for medical purposes, and uses them on long flights to help him sleep.

    She was sentenced to nine years in prison for drug smuggling after a small amount of cannabis oil was found in a vaporiser cartridge in her hand luggage at a Moscow airport.

    This is in fact what happened to Brittney Griner, who was released at the end of 2022 in a prisoner swap with the US in return for the controversial Russian arms dealer Victor Bout.

    Washington is currently negotiating for the release of two Americans, journalist Evan Gershkovich and former US Marine Paul Whelan, who are in Russian jails accused of spying.

    I’m a fan of people facing consequences for their idiotic behavior, so I hope that they don’t do a prisoner swap.
