Fugitive businessman wanted in the US emerges in Russia

A Russian businessman wanted in the US for alleged money laundering and sanctions evasion who had escaped from house arrest in Italy has reappeared in his native country.

Artem Uss, 40, had slipped out of his home in the small town of Basiglio near Milan on March 22, a day after an Italian court approved his extradition to the US to stand trial on charges of smuggling sensitive technologies in violation of western sanctions and money laundering.
