The US State Department representative commented on the sentence of the Moscow City Court, who left the punishment for the American student Trevor Reed in the form of 9 years of colony for an attack on a policeman. He wrote about this in his twitter .
According to Price, the country is “deeply concerned about” by the decision to leave a sentence in force. “The United States will continue to work on behalf of the Trevor until Russia does everything right and will not return his family. Trevor has been deprived too long,” he said.
On July 30, 2020, the Moscow Golovin court sentenced Trevor Rida to nine years in prison. The Americans recognized the guilty under Article 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Application to the representative of the authority of violence, life-threatening or health”). It was found that on August 16, 2019, the tenants of the house on the Leningradskoye highway called the police to calm the drunk man who had quarreled with several women. But the arriving policemen also showed aggression. On the way to the department in the service car, he attacked the police – broke out the driver and hit his colleague.
