An Italian judge in Thorsday found a Russian businessman guilty of helping the son of a former Russian governor to flee from Italy while facing extradition to the United States, according to media reports.
Dmitry Chirakadze was a sentence three years and two months after bars for his role in escape in March 2023 or Artyom Uss, said Corriere Della Sera.
The USS, son of the former governor of the Krasnoyarsk region, Alexander Uss, faced the extradition of the United States in an alleged illegal export of military technology, some of which had been “discovered in the battlefields of Ukraine,” US authorities said.
He was arrested at Milan Malpensa airport with an order of USA. In October 2022.
He lacked his residence on the day after an Italian court ordered his extradition to the United States in 2023 despite having used an electronic tracking bracelet.
Several days later, he announced that he was back in Russia.
Russian fellow Chirakadze, a Swiss resident, was arrested in June last year for allegedly helping the USS plan and contacting the gang members who achieved it.
The Italian media said that Chirakadze was the co -founder of the Pravo.ru group, which provides assistance to the Russian court websites.
When announcing the sentence last year, the prosecutor described the suspect without a name as an aristocrat descended from a great Duke of Georgia.
He was also a shareholder of “numerous Russian companions with the participation of members of the USS family,” he added.
A message from Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We face unprecedented challenges. The Office of the Attorney General of Russia has appointed Moscow Times as an “indifferent” organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our previous unfair labeling as a “foreign agent.”
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim that our work “discredits the decisions of Russian leadership.” We see things differently: we strive to provide precise and impartial reports about Russia.
We, the Moscow Times journalists, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly from $2. It is quick to configure and each contribution has a significant impact.
