Alleged Russian spy charged for infiltration attempts in US and ICC.
TL;DR Summary
The US Department of Justice has charged a Russian man, Sergey Vladimirovich Cherkasov, with multiple offenses, including fraud, after he spent two years in the US studying under an assumed Brazilian identity. Cherkasov was later caught trying to join the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which is seeking the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The US accuses Cherkasov of operating as an agent for Russian intelligence services from 2012 to 2022, mostly in Brazil under his new identity, and of passing information about US persons to his handlers. Russia has requested his extradition, but it is unclear if the US will comply.
