Note how the BBC shit drenches the piece in irrelevant boilerplate denials -- even putting 'sham' in the title! -- but can barely bring himself to mention what Gershkovich was apparently doing ("gathering classified information about a Russian defence plant near Yekaterinburg and spying for the CIA").

At least the FT gives us a detail or two: "Prosecutors claimed Gershkovich was in Ekaterinburg on an assignment for the CIA to obtain “secret information” about production and repair efforts at Uralvagonzavod, a large tank factory".

My money is on the little bastard being guilty as hell.
