US Rock Star and EX-Paratrooper Travis Leake Detained in Moscow For Drug Trafficking
US Musician, EX-Paratrooper Michael Travis Leake Arrested in Moscow on Drug Trafficking Charges
BBC 16 JUNE 2023
An American musician who has lived in Russia for more than a decade has been arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking, Russian news media reported Saturday.
The reports said Michael Travis Leake is suspected of selling mephedrone, whose effects are similar to those of cocaine and MDMA.
A Moscow court ordered him to be held for two months in pre-trial detention, the reports said.
He faces charges of production or distribution of drugs, which carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.
An Instagram page under the name Travis Leake Instagram identifies him as the singer for the band Lovi Noch (Seize the Night).
News reports said Leake is a former paratrooper with the US military and has lived in Moscow since 2010.
The US State Department said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press that it was aware of the reports that a US citizen had recently been arrested in Moscow.
