MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia on Thursday began a new trial of Robert Gilman, a former U.S. Marine who is already serving a prison sentence for attacking a police officer while drunk, on four new charges, the state-run RIA news agency reported.
In October 2022, Gilman was sentenced to 4-1/2 years in a Russian penal colony for the drunken attack on the police officer.
RIA said that sentence was reduced on appeal to 3-1/2 years in May 2023.
