There is a rule among international criminals with warrants on them that they should be careful about where they go on vacation. This is part of the Justice Department press release:
"According to court documents, Ruslan Yeliseyev, 42, of Odessa, Ukraine, made his living selling stolen financial information on underground Russian-speaking criminal websites. The information that Yeliseyev sold, which had been stolen from approximately 40,000 hacked computers, included over 62,000 credit card numbers as well as usernames and passwords to victims’ online banking accounts. Yeliseyev was arrested while vacationing in Israel in 2016 and subsequently extradited to the United States. "
This has happened before in such wonderful vacation spots as Montenegro. But let me remind you that it works for other countries almost as well as for the US. The Russians charged a few Ukrainian politicians with crimes tried in abstentia so they could not defend themselves. Then they posted Red Notices on Interpol so they could get arrested by anyone who didn't understand the political nature of the charges and the trial. This is a corrupt perversion of the intent of Red Notice postings, but the Russians have never been put off by that.
