Harvard Scientist Indicted on Multiple Smuggling Charges

Kseniia Petrova, a researcher associated with Harvard University, has been indicted by a grand jury on multiple charges related to the alleged smuggling of frog embryos and other biological materials into the United States. The indictment comes amid ongoing legal proceedings after Petrova was previously taken into ICE custody at Boston Logan Airport. Authorities have accused her of concealing biological materials and making false statements during the process. The government claims that these actions pose significant risks to biodiversity and compliance with U.S. regulations. As the case unfolds, Petrova is facing heightened scrutiny and additional felony charges related to her alleged smuggling activities.
