Russian Intelligence Officer Convicted of Sex Trafficking

The Moscow District Military Court sentenced former army intelligence Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Strykanov to 12 years in jail for sex trafficking. A jury found Strykanov guilty on five counts at the trial of a large international criminal group that had smuggled women abroad and forced them into prostitution. The investigators accused the ex-spy of 97 counts, but the jurors said only five were proven. The penalties for 11 other members of the group ranged from a 5-year suspended sentence to 19 years in prison.
