Belgian-Russian man sentenced to 16 years in a prison camp in Russia for high treason

A Russian court has sentenced 48-year-old Mikhail Loshchinin, who has dual Russian and Belgian nationality, to sixteen years in a penal colony for high treason. Russian media reported this on Tuesday. However, his family and friends in Belgium call the trial ‘a joke’: “The accusations are made out of thin air.”
