Another RF citizen deported from US in connection with spy scandal
WASHINGTON. July 14. KAZINFORM Russia's citizen who was mentioned by American security services in connection with the recent "spy scandal" between Washington and Moscow, on Tuesday was deported from the United States by decision of the immigration court, spokesman for the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Matt Chandler told Itar-Tass.
According to him, the deported man's name is Alexei Karetnikov. The decision on his deportation to his motherland was made by the court earlier on the same day. Chandler said he could confirm that the ruling of the judge on the deportation of the Russian was fulfilled.
According to US competent bodies, the Russian who was forced to leave the American territory had entered the United States last October.
The official explained that the ruling on the deportation of the Russian citizen was made by the immigration judge based on a reached agreement. Under the agreement terms, Mr Karetnikov admitted that he was staying in the United States in violation of the immigration law and voluntarily agreed to deportation instead of further judicial procedures. Mr Karetnikov will face criminal and civil prosecution if he returns to the United States without a special permission of the American government, the DHS spokesman specified.
He did not give any other details of this case; Kazinform cites Itar-Tass.
