Cloak and Dagger

British prosecutors are seeking the extradition of ex-KGB agent Andrei Lugovoi in conjunction with the Polonium poisoning another former spy Alexander Litvinenko. According to Russian law, Russia cannot extradite a citizen. If a foreign country wishes to bring a case against a Russian national, the case must be prosecuted in Russia. Not what one would call a level playing field to begin with but I doubt that matters much. I am sure this is the last thing the Kremlin wants to dig into and will be amazed if Logovoi ever sees the inside of a courtroom, much less a real trial. As they say in North Jersey, this guy is connected.
