(Reuters) - Alexander Vinnik, a Russian national convicted of cyber crime and released by U.S. authorities as part of an exchange of prisoners, arrived in Moscow late on Thursday, Russian news agencies quoted aviation officials as saying.
Vinnik, who pleaded guilty in May 2024 to charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, arrived at Moscow's Vnukovo airport. His lawyer said the aircraft had flown from the Turkish city of Istanbul.
