Abstract:
On February 11, Russia released Marc Fogel as part of a deal negotiated by Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East. A former teacher in a private school attended by Western diplomats and children of the Russian elite, Fogel was arrested on charges of importing medical marijuana into Russia in August 2021. He started serving a 14-year sentence in June 2022. He flew from Russia on Mr. Witkoff’s plane.[1]
