In other words, the US can't arrest anyone overseas for breaking US law.Example it's a crime for a foreigner to kill a US citizen overseas.
It's a crime in the country where it occurs, so that's a really fucking stupid example.
Nope, is some islamic countries it's not a crime to kill an infidel. It's only an american crime.
So when does our government arrest these people?
It is unlikely that Russia will turn these people over to the US for prosecution but you are mistaken about the process.
The US gives notice to Russia that they want to arrest Russian citizens and extradite them to the US for trial. If Russia agrees to cooperate (ha!), they take those charged into custody and there’s a court hearing where the accused can make a case that they should not be sent back to the US for trial.
In this case, since Russia is unlikely to cooperate, they’ll likely file arrest warrants with Interpol and wait for these people to leave Russia and, hopefully, go to a more cooperative jurisdiction.
Thanks for playing.
