A Moscow court on Wednesday remanded a German citizen into custody after his arrest over possession of cannabis gummies and accusations of smuggling drugs, Russian state news agency Tass said. Patrick Schobel, 38, was detained at Pulkovo airport in St. Petersburg late last month and will remain in custody until at least March 15, Tass said. Russia's Federal Customs Service said the German national arrived in the country to visit a friend, and when searched, a packet of “Fink Green Goldbears” with six cannabis gummies inside was found on him.
The German prosecutor's office has identified Russian soldiers who murdered civilians in Hostomel, Kyiv Oblast, in 2022, according to the country’s justice minister, Marco Bushman, on Dec. 27.
