MOSCOW, September 24 (RIA Novosti) - The Czech Republic is set to extradite to Russia on Wednesday a suspected Russian drug dealer who was on the international wanted list, the Russian Interior Ministry said.
Vladimir Sayetov, accused by Russia of illegal drug production and distribution, was arrested in the Czech capital in January this year and the Russian Prosecutor General's Office filed a request for his extradition in February.
The suspected drug dealer will be escorted from Prague to Moscow on Wednesday jointly by officers of Interpol and Russia's Federal Penitentiary Service.
The Russian ministry said it is the 41st extradition to Russia since the beginning of the year and the fourth from the Czech Republic.
