Russia’s Prosecutor General’s office said on Thursday that The Wall Street Journal's (WSJ) reporter Evan Gershkovich, imprisoned in Russia on espionage charges, will stand trial in the city of Yekaterinburg.
Prosecutors said that the indictment against Gershkovich has been completed and his case has been submitted to the Sverdlovsky Regional Court in Yekaterinburg.
Russian authorities accuse Gershkovich of "gathering secret information" about a plant in the Sverdlovsk region that manufactured and repaired military equipment and of working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
