25: A Moscow court on Monday sentenced Russian opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza to 25 years in prison for treason and discrediting the military.

1.6 billion: When Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation case against Fox News was about to start Monday in a Delaware court, the trial was abruptly delayed until Tuesday as the network reportedly negotiates a settlement.

The "Chapitos" are accused of manufacturing the opioid in Mexico with precursor from China.

100: Atiq Ahmad, an Indian gangster-turned-politician, was killed on live TV alongside his brother on Saturday. The two were in police custody in Uttar Pradesh, where vigilante justice is on an upswing since the Hindu-first BJP party swept to power in 2017. Ahmad, a former MP for the Samajwadi Party, faced more than 100 criminal cases throughout his life, but his Muslim supporters adored him as a Robin Hood.
