Bosnian National Indicted for Aiding Russian Defendant's Escape

Artem Uss, accused of smuggling sensitive military technologies and oil to sanctioned Russian entities, remains a fugitive with a $7 million reward for his capture.

Vladimir Jovancic, a Bosnian national, has been indicted and arrested in Croatia for aiding the escape of Russian defendant Artem Uss from Italy to Russia.
Uss, who was due to be extradited to the U.S., is accused of heading a global scheme to smuggle sensitive military technologies and Venezuelan oil to sanctioned Russian oligarchs and companies.
Jovancic and others were allegedly recruited by Uss to help him flee to Russia if extradition was granted.
Uss, the son of a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, has significant business interests in Russia and Italy, and is linked to a transnational fraud, smuggling and money laundering operation.
The U.S. State Department has announced a reward of up to $7 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Uss.
