UAE extradites two criminal case defendants to Russia
Published
The authorities of the United Arab Emirates have handed over to the Russian side two citizens who were on the international wanted list. The men are accused of committing serious crimes on Russian territory and had been evading justice abroad for a long time.
The first defendant, according to investigators, is involved in large-scale fraud. The second defendant is involved in a case related to the illegal trafficking of prohibited substances. Thanks to the cooperation between the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and the law enforcement agencies of the UAE, it was possible to organize the extradition procedure and bring the suspects to Moscow.
The transfer of the accused took place under the escort of officers from the Federal Penitentiary Service and Interpol. Both men are currently in a pre-trial detention center. Necessary investigative actions will be carried out with them in the near future, after which the cases will be sent to court for trial on the merits.
This case has become another example of Russia's successful international cooperation in the fight against crime. In recent years, Russian authorities have been actively working with foreign partners to ensure the inevitability of punishment for those who attempt to avoid responsibility by leaving the country.
