Russia investigates son of British lawmaker fighting for Ukraine

Moscow’s judiciary says it has opened a criminal case against Ben Grant, the son of British lawmaker and ex-minister Helen Grant, for fighting against the Russian military in Ukraine.

“Within the framework of a criminal case on mercenarism, investigators are determining the role of a relative of British parliamentarian Helen Grant,” the Russian Investigative Committee announced.

Ben Grant, who served for several years in the Royal Marines, is hailed as a hero in British media for fighting on the side of Ukraine since March. The British press frequently reports on his combat activities, including recently that he saved the life of an injured comrade under fire and carried him off the battlefield.

Mercenarism is a criminal offence in Russia, as in many other countries, and Grant could be punished by up to seven years in prison should he ever stand trial in Russia.
