Maldives Denies Russian Claims That Secret Service Kidnapped a Politician's Son
Rei (128717) writes As was previously reported here, the Russian government has accused the U.S. Secret Service of kidnapping the son of ultranationalist LDPR MP Valery Seleznev in the Maldives. The son, Roman Seleznev, stands accused of running one of the world's largest carding operations, with others charged in the affair having already been convicted; however, Roman had until recently been considered out of reach in Russia. Now the Maldives has struck back against these claims, insisting that they arrested him on an Interpol Red Notice and transferred him to the US, as they are legally required as an Interpol member state to do. "No outsider came here to conduct an operation," president Abdulla Yameen stated. "No officials from another country can come here to arrest anyone. The government has the necessary documentation to prove it." Note: the Slashdot post linked didn't include the accusations of kidnapping, but the Krebs On Security link above mentions these claims.
In Russia it is legal and even heroic to steal from Americans on the internet. Russia has never extradited for internet crime so let them seethe in their anger that one of their elites had a bag put over his head by the Secret Service and will now spend the rest of his life with a negro cellie whose size and penetrating capacity will soon make him forget about girls. I hope it gives them a heart attack.
