A former US Marine accused of spying on Russia may face up to 18 years in a maximum security prison if prosecutors get their way.

On Monday, Russian prosecutors asked that Paul Whelan, a former US Marine, be sentenced to 18 years in prison for spying.

Mr Whelan claims he was set up in a sting operation, and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
