An extradition request charges that Berezovsky defrauded the administration of Russia's Samara region while director of a company called LogoVaz between Jan. 1, 1994 and Dec. 31, 1995.

Do you suppose that this guy is going to take the 'fall' for exporting arms to Iraq (shady business dealings)?

Great news!

This guy is one of the biggest criminals in the whole world.

He should at least have made a gesture of keeping his head down --he was very, very "in your face" towards the people he stole from, which was mostly the whole Russian people.

Read the book, "Red Mafiya".

Why should Britain do Russia any favours when they refuse to extradite someone who murdered a British Citizen with Polonium?

Because the statute of limitations is only good on threads after 2005?
