Moscow insisting on Adamov's early extradition to Russia

Moscow insists on an earliest possible extradition to Russia of the former Russian Atomic Energy minister Yevgeny Adamov, officials at the Foreign Ministry said here Thursday after a meeting with representatives of the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office and the U.S. Department of Justice, the Itar-Tass reports.

“Russian officials presented to the U.S. delegation, led by Pennsylvania’s Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan, a well-substantiated position that Adamov must urgently be extradited to Russia,” Foreign Ministry sources said.
