Rebel Chechen envoy Akhmed Zakayev, who resides in the UK now, must be extradited to Russia, Vladimir Putin stated on July 16 at a G8 press conference in St. Petersburg. “You don’t have to roam archives, we have evidence, videos of his criminal activities,” the Russian president said at the press conference.

“When we are told, ‘let’s bring up the subject of Syria,’ or Iran or any more countries that shelter [foreign] terrorists, why not to mention other countries as well?” Putin is quoted by Gazeta.ru as saying.

The president stressed that many criminals and terrorists were abusing the complicated legal and courts systems of some countries. They “make use of them to destroy civilized countries,” he added. Vladimir Putin called on to change the situation.
