An American citizen has been arrested in Russia, suspected of drug smuggling, according to a court in Moscow.

In the 28-year-old's luggage, marmalade with cannabis was found, and he was subsequently arrested.

Russian police claim that he smuggled a significant amount of drugs into the country, reports the Russian news agency Interfax.

The incident occurs just days after a teacher from the USA, who had been imprisoned in Russia, accused of drug offenses, was released in a prisoner exchange between the two countries.
