MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 15th May, 2019) The rights of Russian national Oleg Tishchenko, extradited from Georgia to the United States, must be respected, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.
Tishchenko, a video game developer, who worked on high-precision flight simulators, is accused of purchasing documentation on aircraft, including F-16, F-22 and F-35 fighters, online. A criminal case against him was opened in 2016 and, in early 2019, Tishchenko was arrested in Georgia and later extradited to the United States.
"There have already been statements by the Foreign Ministry on this issue, this is a Russian citizen, we are, in general, very worried and dissatisfied with the practice of such cross-border provocative actions of Americans against Russian citizens. At various levels, we bring our anxiety and discontent to American colleagues. Naturally, the Russian side will closely monitor the observance of the rights of this Russian national," Peskov told reporters.
