| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [RIA] Judge of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez has been put on the wanted list, according to the response of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs to a corresponding request from RIA Novosti. “Grounds for the search: wanted under an article of the Criminal Code,” the statement says. In March, the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber issued arrest warrants for President Vladimir Putin and children's ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova. This authority charges them with, among other things, the “deportation” of children whom the authorities rescued from shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and took them from the combat zone to safe areas. Later, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against ICC judges Tomoko Akane, Rosario Salvatore Aitala and Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez. All of them are accused of knowingly illegal detention and preparation for an attack on a representative of a foreign state. As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized, raising the issue of the ICC about the “arrest of Putin” is unacceptable. Moscow does not recognize the jurisdiction of the court, and any of its decisions are void from a legal point of view. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, in turn, noted that issuing a warrant creates enormous negative potential and could lead to a response from Russia. |
