Today, December 11, 2013, at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation the competent authorities of the State of Israel are extraditing Russian citizen Merabi Biniaurishvili to Russia. Investigative agencies accuse him of committing the crime, referred to in article 131, paragraph 2 "b, c" (rape, committed by a group of persons under a preliminary conspiracy, connected with the threat of murder of the victim) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The criminal case against Biniaurishvili was initiated in May 2005; charges were served in June that year.
In September 2007 due to absence from court, Borisoglebsky district court of Voronezh Oblast selected a preventive punishment for the accused Biniaurishvili in the form of taking him into custody and he was put on a wanted list.
He was put on an international wanted list in October 2008.
In July 2009, having information about location of Biniaurishvili within the territory of Israel, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation sent a request on his extradition to Russia for criminal prosecution to the Ministry of Justice of the State of Israel.
In February 2012 Biniaurishvili was detained within the territory of Israel.
Today Merabi Biniaurishvili, escorted by officials of Federal Penitentiary Service and those of Interpol Bureau of Russia, will be extradited to Russia.
