extradition

A suspected hitwoman, named as US citizen Aimee Betro, is currently in prison in Armenia and subject to an extradition request.

The group had travelled to the Kenyan city of Kisumu for a training course, according to their lawyers, but were deported to Uganda without proper legal channels like deportation orders or extradition requests being followed.

However, as the Russian constitution does not permit extradition of its own nationals, they cannot be formally charged unless they try to leave the country.

He was released on bail but immediately boarded a plane to Pakistan, which does not have an official extradition treaty with the UK.

Turkey requested his extradition to face trial but the US has said it needed to see evidence of his involvement in the coup first.
