This was stated in an interview with RIA Novosti by the Russian American lawyer Steve Zissu.Russia is working to get Bout back, Moskalkova said, «Some objective people on the American side are no doubt beginning to realize that it was the US authorities who ushered in the era of our countries' harsh treatment of each other's citizens when they authorized the DEA (US Drug Enforcement Administration) to kidnap Viktor. bring him to America, try him for a crime that was created for him by the DEA itself, and then have the audacity to demand that he be sentenced to life in prison without parole,» the lawyer told the agency. «I believe that it is this objective point of view that will prevail,” he added. Speaking of Americans who still believe in the “dealer of death Viktor Bout,” Zissou noted that they stand on the position “the United States cannot be wrong,” which many people cling to America.Bout's lawyer believes he will be exchanged for one or more Americans ev «None of these people give a second thought to what the Russian government and its citizens must think when the United States targets a long-retired Russian citizen who lives permanently in Moscow and St. Petersburg and, as Judge Shira Sheindlin emphasized, in court at sentencing Victor Bout, create a crime for him, and then pay millions of dollars to paid informants, real criminals, to create the entourage of such a crime for which Victor could be charged in a US court, «said the lawyer.» this persecution and, in practice, the kidnapping of a citizen of the Russian Federation was an obvious infringement on the sovereignty of Russia, hardly any objective person can dispute,» he concluded.
