21:22 17/10/2009

MOSCOW, October 17 (RIA Novosti) - U.S. authorities on Saturday extradited a Russian national wanted at home on charges of assault with intent to rob, Russia's Prosecutor General's Office said.

"Today, accompanied by members of the Russian office of Interpol, David Stepanyants was deported to Russia," a statement said.

Stepanyants, wanted in southern Russia's Astrakhan Region since 2000, was extradited at the request of the Russian authorities.

The 50-year-old Russian was placed on the international wanted list in 2002 and detained in the U.S. in March 2009 for the violation of immigration laws.
