A Russian businessman who fled house arrest in Italy, where he was facing extradition to the United States, has told the Russian state-run RIA Novosti news agency he is back in Russia. Artyom Uss was arrested in Italy and was due to face charges in the United States of shipping oil from Venezuela in breach of sanctions, and of bank fraud. He escaped from house arrest at his home on the outskirts of Milan last month, triggering an alarm on his electronic tag hours after a court ordered him to be extradited to the United States.
