Jugal Daterao, an Indian-origin manager associated with the Walt Disney Company, is sentenced to about two and a half years in prison in Russia for drug possession and smuggling, according to reports from India. The case centers on items found in his luggage at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. Russian authorities say the contents included THC-infused gummy candies. Court reporting in the two outlets states that Daterao argued the gummies were legally prescribed in the United States by a doctor, and he presented the claim that the medication was intended to address effects following brain surgery. However, the court does not accept his defense. The reports identify the sentence as a two-and-a-half-year prison term and describe the discovery of the THC products as the basis for the conviction. Both sources present the same core facts: the Moscow airport discovery of THC-infused gummies, Daterao’s explanation that the substances were prescribed in the US, and the court’s decision to convict and sentence him.
