Between Moscow, Russia and Russia – WNBA The star’s lawyer Britney Greenner says her presidential arrest in Russia has been extended for one month after she appeared in a Moscow court on Friday.

Lawyer Alexander Boykov told the Associated Press that he believes that the relatively short extension of detention indicates that the case will soon be sent to court.
