Russian court arrests man wanted by Azerbaijan on terrorism charge

A Russian court has arrested a man at Azerbaijan’s request on charges of conducting terrorism-related training, organising a criminal community, and forming armed groups, court documents say.

The individual has been placed on Azerbaijan’s wanted list in absentia, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

Russian authorities received the necessary documentation from Azerbaijan in a timely manner and subsequently notified their foreign counterparts of the arrest.

The Moscow court has ordered the man’s detention. The materials do not specify his nationality, and he does not hold a Russian passport.
