Light sentences seen for Britons in Moscow trial
In Moscow on April 17 the prosecutor urged conviction for most British defendants linked to Metropolitan-Vickers spies and saboteurs while seeking mercy for two Russian defendants. He called for the death penalty for main saboteur Vassili Gusev but left sentencing to the court. He proposed a secondary punishment for five Britons and described one as an experienced spy. The court will hear final statements before a verdict.
