Sweden Extradites Russian National Alexander Suvorov to the United States on Export-Control and Sanctions-Evasion Charges

                On October 15, 2026, Sweden extradited Russian national Alexander Suvorov, 52, to the Northern District of New York on export-control and sanctions-evasion charges. The case suggests the United States’ ability to obtain custody of a defendant whose alleged conduct ran through a third jurisdiction, here Hong Kong, even though Sweden did not incorporate the treaty provision that shields such offenses from dual-criminality objections.
