Today, July 24, 2015, upon the request of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, the competent authorities of the French Republic will extradite the Russian citizen, Vladimir Kutev, to Russia with the view to enforcing the sentence of the Frunzensky District Court of St Petersburg.
Mr Kutev was found guilty of the fact that in 1997 in his mother’s apartment in St Petersburg he physically assaulted her and attacked her with a knife, which consequently led to her death.
In February 2008, Vladimir Kutev was convicted by the Frunzensky District Court in St Petersburg of committing crimes stipulated by Article 111 (4) (intentional infliction of a grave injury hazardous to human life, involving the death of the victim by negligence) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to 6 years imprisonment in a penal colony.
During Mr Kutev’s trial, he was subject to a non-custodial preventive measure. As the convicted defendant did not attend his court hearing and absconded from the law enforcement authorities, the court placed him on the federal wanted list in June 1998, and on the international wanted list in July 2005.
In April 2014, he was arrested in the French Republic.
In April 2014, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation submitted a request to the Ministry of Justice of the French Republic for his extradition to Russia, which was approved in July 2015.
Today, Vladimir Kutev will be extradited to Russia under the escort of officers of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and the Russian National Central Bureau of INTERPOL.
