Russian-German Lawyer German Moyzhes Charged with Treason in Moscow

Moyzhes, who assisted Russians in obtaining EU residency permits, is among several Western nationals detained amid heightened tensions.

German Moyzhes was arrested in St. Petersburg in May and is held in Moscow's Lefortovo prison.
The lawyer's detention has been extended by the Lefortovo court, but trial dates remain unclear.
Moyzhes' work involved helping wealthy post-Soviet citizens gain German residency permits.
Germany has been denied consular access to Moyzhes and other dual nationals for two years.
Russia's recent detentions of Western citizens are seen as leverage for potential prisoner exchanges.
