A businesswoman with U.S. ties trapped in Kuwait for more than a year was sentenced to 15 more years in prison on Monday, her team told FOX Business.
Marsha Lazareva, a Russian national and mother of a child with American citizenship, was released on bail in June after spending more than a year in Kuwait’s Sulaibaya prison because of what her legal team describes as trumped-up embezzlement charges.
Now Lazareva is ordered to return to Sulaibaya after being convicted on two counts of money laundering.
