Ukraine extradicts suspect in Putin's assisination plot

Ukraine has extradited to Russia one of the suspects in a plot to assassinate President Vladimir Putin, RIA-Novosti reports.

The final decision to extradite to Russia a Kazakh national, Ilya Pyanzin, the second suspect in an assasination plot against then-Prime Minister Putin, was adopted by the Court of Appeal in Odessa on Thursday.

 “The Ukrainian special services took Pyanzin from the pre-trial detention facility where he had been held since January this year to the Odessa Airport,” RIA-Novosti quotes Russian TV Channel One.

The decision on the extradiction of the first suspect in the plot, Adam Osmayev was suspended on August 22 pending the ECHR ruling.
