Italy has frozen the assets of a Russian businessman who fled to Russia in March before being extradited to the US. The Ministry of Finance in Rome announced that it had approved a corresponding decree.
The seized assets include an interest in a business owned by businessman Artem Uss, his villa and a bank account with more than 160,000 euros. The man has been charged in the United States with charges of illegal oil shipments from Venezuela and bank fraud.
Fled from house arrest despite tracking device
