Albania extradites a person accused of causing harm to health and slander at the request of the Russian party
  Text

At the request of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, the competent authorities of Albania are extraditing Maksim Bobrov to face criminal charges under Article 112 part 2 paragraph “h” of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (intentional infliction of moderate harm to health, committed with the use of objects used as weapons) and Article 128.1 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (slander).

According to investigators, in March 2020 in the town of Kineshma, Ivanovo Region, the accused installed homemade devices for collecting juice on several birch trees on the Mayakovskogo street. A pensioner (84 y.o. at that time) who was nearby, made a remark to Bobrov, disapproving of his actions, and began to remove the devices installed on the birch trees.

In this regard, a conflict arose between the men, during which the accused struck the pensioner’s arm with a metal bat. Moreover, on the same day, Bobrov filed a complaint with law enforcement agencies about beating inflicted on him by the elderly man. The pensioner was forced to contact a lawyer.

Having learned about this, Bobrov, using fake accounts on social networks, began spreading false information about the victim’s lawyer, discrediting his honor and dignity, and undermining his reputation.

Since the accused absconded from law enforcement authorities, a preventive measure in the form of detention was chosen against him, and in December 2021 he was put on the international wanted list.

The extradition request was sent in connection with a report from the competent authorities of Albania about the detention of Bobrov on the territory of the country. Thanks to close cooperation with foreign colleagues, a decision was made to extradite him to the Russian Federation.

The accused will be transferred to Moscow accompanied by the officers of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and NCB Interpol.
