This morning a judge sentenced the Russian citizen to 25 years in prison, now retired, admitted that the sentence Viktor bout was too harsh.
As a rule, after such statements may start the proceedings with the revision of the sentence, etc.
The approval of a judge, she never had a doubt that Booth was engaged in arms transfers to other countries, but by the time of his arrest he was “largely retired”. “The question comes down to: “if he’s still an international arms dealer, and whether had this value?” said Sheindlin.
Let me remind you that Viktor Bout has been in custody already since 2008, the investigation of his case lasted for 4 years. The U.S. side accuses him of arms trafficking and aiding extremist organizations.
Just a few hours in the Russian media appeared information about preparing documents for the extradition of Savchenko to Ukraine. Sentenced to 22 years old (the same is sitting and the booth, what a coincidence, right?) Nadezhda Savchenko can be transferred to the homeland through the continuation of the execution of the punishment.
It is possible that the two things are revealed warm may morning, the usual coincidence, not a well-orchestrated and deliberate agreement. It may be that 4 prisoners, headed by the Director Sentsov will be exchanged for our Alexander and Yerofeyev. But all this remains at the level of speculation, but the documents on the transfer of prisoners from Russia through a process of training, and this fact continues to suggest to certain thoughts.
