Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] Stirlitz's heart ached.
SS Standartenfuhrer Max Otto von Stierlitz is a character is from the Russian novel Seventeen Moments of Spring: by Yulian Semyonov.
"But Artem doesn't know how to ski at all."

Nothing, - he reassured himself, the border is not far, the border is within easy reach, it will come.

The son of the Krasnoyarsk governor Uss, Artem Uss, showed up in Russia after he escaped in Italy.

The indictment for his arrest in Italy alleged that Artem Uss, through a German-owned company, acquired secret military technology, semiconductors, microprocessors and other electronic components, which were then used in the Russian defense sector, which is under Western sanctions. In addition, prosecutors alleged that Uss and his partner Yuri Orekhov (who was arrested in Germany on the same day as the governor's son) used the Hamburg company NDA GmbH as a front to transport hundreds of millions of barrels of Venezuelan oil to Russia and China.

He was also wanted in Russia on charges of money laundering.

Arriving in Russia, Uss stated that he did not believe in fair justice in the West (logically), so he fled to Russia.

Today, Uss appeared at the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, where he was issued a written undertaking not to leave (it is clear that he himself will not go to the West now). Most likely, the extraction of Uss was carried out by the Russian special services, who helped Uss get back on his skis.

Apparently, he was involved in the work of the Russian special services abroad, and therefore measures were taken to prevent him from being taken to the United States. If so, well done.

True, questions remain with accusations of money laundering in Russia.

Escaped from arrest in Italy Artyom Uss changed the preventive measure

The son of the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Alexander Uss Artyom , who escaped from house arrest in Italy, after returning to Russia, voluntarily appeared in the investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This was announced on April 4 by the entrepreneur's lawyer Alexei Tikhomirov.

According to the human rights activist, Uss Jr. gave detailed answers to the questions asked on the merits of the case.

"Based on the results of the interrogation, Artyom Aleksandrovich’s preventive measure was changed to a written undertaking not to leave," Tikhomirov specified in an interview with TASS .

As REGNUM reported, at the end of October 2022, the Meshchansky Court of Moscow arrested Artyom Uss in absentia on charges of money laundering on an especially large scale as part of an organized group. The businessman was put on the wanted list. Uss Jr. himself asked to be extradited to Russia.

However, on March 21, a Milan court approved the extradition of Uss to the United States, and the next day he escaped from a rented apartment in which he was under house arrest, cutting off an electronic bracelet.

Artyom Uss was detained in Milan on October 17, 2022 at the request of the US Department of Justice. On December 2, the businessman was transferred to house arrest in a suburb of Milan.
