Lithuania acceded to a U.S. request to extradite suspected Russian arms dealer Dmitry Ustinov, brushing aside Russia’s protests that the process was flawed.
The Baltic nation’s Court of Appeal, in a definitive ruling, upheld the July 22 decision of a lower court that ordered the extradition. Evidence provided by the U.S. showed Ustinov “may have committed the crimes of which he is accused,” Judge Linas Zukauskas said today at the court in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius.
