Court overturns government decision to extradite Russian sanctions violator to US

The Tallinn Administrative Court has overturned the government's decision to extradite Estonian citizen Andrei Ševljakov to the United States. In the spring of 2023, U.S. authorities charged Ševljakov with evading sanctions imposed on Russia by supplying prohibited U.S.-made electronics. The court justified its decision by citing concerns that the detention conditions in U.S. prisons may not meet humane standards.
