    Sentenced in absentia. The headline almost got me, but I was pretty sure he left Russia last year sometime.

      The US doesn’t normally permit trials in absentia.

      Apparently this is not a universal norm, and some EU member states do. Apparently, based on this article, Russia does as well.

    Important takeaway:

    Fortunately for Glukhovsky, he is not actually in Russia, and was sentenced in absentia. His current whereabouts are unknown.
