Brittney Griner and Viktor Bout exchanged on UAE airport tarmac – video

Video from Russian state media shows the moment released prisoners, the US basketball star Brittney Griner and the arms dealer Viktor Bout, momentarily cross paths on the tarmac of an airport in the United Arab Emirates.

In the footage, Griner can be seen wearing a red coat, and Bout is holding what appears to be a brown envelope.

Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, was released from a Russian jail before being traded for Bout, an arms dealer who had been held in a US prison for 12 years
