Artem Uss returned to Russia. He had taken off his electronic bracelet to escape from house arrest. He then fled and lost track, fueling a diplomatic conflict between Russia, Italy and the United States. According to the news of the RIA Novosti agency, Alexander Uss, the son of Siberia’s governor of Krasnoyarsk, who escaped from house arrest in Italy recently, announced that he managed to return to his country.
The fugitive said, “I am in Russia! In these dramatic few days, strong and reliable people stood by me. I thank them.” Then don’t blame Italy. “The Italian court, whose impartiality I initially trusted, has made clear its political bias. Unfortunately, it is also ready to bow to pressure from the US authorities.” In the current international situation, when Russian citizens are subjected to “games without rules”, returning to their homeland, even in such a “non-standard” way, is a victory.
The USS and five other Russians were accused of violating US sanctions, money laundering, smuggling Venezuelan oil and bilateral material transfers. The governor’s son was arrested at Milan Airport, where he was going to leave for Turkey with the US mandate on October 17. In fact, Uss risked being sentenced to thirty years in prison: the Americans had requested his extradition, which the Italian court had recently authorized. However, the man managed to escape from house arrest from a house in Milan. The escape, possibly with the complicity of the Russian secret services.
