Russia’s Tass and RIA Novosti news agencies quoted Prague’s Russian embassy spokesman, Alexey Kolmakov, as saying that it was insisting that the suspect be handed over to Russia.
“The embassy has been taking all necessary efforts to protect the interests of this Russian citizen. We are in contact with his attorney,” the embassy statement said.
“Russia repudiates Washington’s policy of imposing its extraterritorial jurisdiction on all countries. We insist that the detainee is handed over to Russia.”
