According to recent information from Brittney Griner’s attorneys, the WNBA star’s whereabouts are currently unclear. As previously reported, Griner was found to have less than a gram of hash oil in her luggage and was therefore given a 9-year prison term in Russia.
Her attorneys have recently disclosed that Griner was sent to an undisclosed jail colony after her appeal was rejected. According to a statement from Griner’s attorneys Maria Blagovolina and Alexander Boykov, “We do not have any knowledge on her specific current whereabouts or her final destination.”
