The Russian Government has expressed concerns over the US’ practice of sending requests for the extradition of Russian citizens directly to third-party countries, in particular in the case of Dmitry Ustinov, suspected of smuggling export-restricted military equipment and can face up to 20 years in jail if found guilty. Douglas McNabb, Senior Principal at McNabb Associates, P.C., and adjunct professor of law specializing in international criminal law, has given an exclusive interview to the Voice of Russia in which he sheds light on the seemingly strange extradition policy of the US and whether or not he believes this is politically motivated.
