The bigger issue for the Maldives is does the US care.

The Maldives is a republic and has to follow its laws and process to consider arresting someone on a foreign nations behalf and then consider the extradition.

Yours gets you to Grenada, Malta, Maldives and Saint Kitts and Nevis (ignoring the EU for a moment).

If the case was completely different it is unlikely that Maldives would have allowed the US to arrest him.

I doubt the Maldives will care too much that in future they'll miss out on the Russian-hacker-thief-vacation market.

He's alleging that he was kidnapped in the Maldives and moved to Guam, which is US territory, so he could be arrested.

Unless the Maldives government was involved to a higher degree than individual officials who may have been paid off then the USA is most certainly who Russia should be directing their complaints at.

In Goodfellow's hypothesis the wreckage will be found west of the Maldives shortly.

The only thing which would indicate wrongdoing is if the Maldives filed a protest against the US for the abduction (suggesting it wasn't complicit).

It's hard to draw a straight line from just south of Thailand to the Maldives without clipping southern Sri Lanka or western Malaysia around Aceh.

Or, being taken over by malware and every contact, password and account login sent to the Maldives for quick smash-and-grab sessions against bank accounts and so forth?

>Yameen told reporters that Maldives police, acting on an Interpol arrest warrant, had moved against 30-year-old Seleznev during the weekend.

Pros about moving to Maldives: * Any foreigner can get the "local," discount, like teachers, for example * The islands are amazing.

Fatalities per 100,000 vehicles, the US ranks #24 best (lowest) in the world among nations not the size of Maldives.

If Russia have anyone to complain to, then surely it's the Maldives?

So, for example, for my honeymooon I was able to snag round-trip tickets in business class from NYC to the Maldives.
