Russia includes ICC prosecutor on the list of people 'wanted' by the courts

“Date of birth: March 30, 1970. Place of birth: Edinburgh, Scotland (…). Wanted under an article of the Penal Code”, indicates the announcement published on the Ministry of the Interior website, consulted this Friday by AFP, without specifying the nature of the crime for which he is accused.

The ICC, based in The Hague, issued an arrest warrant for Putin in March for the “illegal deportation” of thousands of children from areas in Ukraine controlled by Russia.

This accusation, comparable to war crimes, was rejected by the Russian government, which denounced a legally “null” decision.

Just a few days after the arrest warrant was issued, in mid-March, Russian justice opened a criminal investigation against Karim Khan and three other ICC judges.

According to the investigation, Khan is accused of having “filed criminal charges against a notoriously innocent person” and of “preparing an attack against a representative of a foreign state”.
