Extradition

The Shanghai High People's Court ruled in favour of Russia's request for extradition of a Russian sailor accused of beating a colleague to death on board a St. Vincent and Grenadines-registered cargo ship. The court found that the accused's alleged actions violated the Criminal Laws of both China and Russia. The court also noted that St. Vincent and the Grenadines made no extradition request while Russia also had jurisdiction over Russian citizens who were charged with crimes in foreign countries. This was reportedly the first extradition request from Russia accepted by China
