Court Decision Paves Way for Israeli Extradition to Russia
October 6, 2026
Seventeen years after the alleged offenses, the Supreme Court has decided to proceed with the extradition of an Israeli citizen to Russia. The accused is held in Central Prisons, and his request for an extension of his detention was denied. Russia seeks him for piracy involving the use of violence and weapons, allegedly committed in 2009. The judge concluded that the evidence confirmed his identity. This decision means that the accused will be sent to Russia to stand trial.
