Bout's Wife Submits Extradition Documents

Convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout's wife Alla has submitted to the Justice Ministry the documents required for filing an application for her husband's extradition. Bout may be extradited under the Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons. Russia must send an inquiry to the U.S. Justice Ministry. The Justice Ministry said the trilateral consent of all parties is needed to transfer Bout, particularly the transferring party, the receiving party and the individual serving the sentence. Bout was sentenced to 25 years in prison by a federal court in New York for planning to sell arms to the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces. He has denied the charges.
