Let’s remember that in 2022, Artem Uss was arrested in Italy. The United States, accusing the businessman of evading sanctions and money laundering, demanded his extradition. A few days ago, the Italian court made the corresponding decision. However, yesterday it was learned that Artyom disappeared from custody, taking away the electronic bracelet with which the authorities controlled his whereabouts.
Today, Governor Uss posted a comment on his Telegram channel with his vision of the situation. According to the head of the region, he does not know the whereabouts of his son, as well as the details of the incident. The apartment where Artyom was under house arrest was carefully guarded by carabinieri, they checked it even at night. “It is absolutely incomprehensible to me how he could have disappeared from there,” the governor said.
He also shared his opinion on the charges brought against his son.
“I am a lawyer, as you know, a professor, and I am absolutely convinced that you are innocent. The facts that are imputed to him are not only criminal, they are not even crimes for which he can be fined. This is not just my opinion, this is the opinion of an international group of lawyers, including the most authoritative lawyers from Milan, as well as from the United States, who also participated in his defense,” commented Alexander Uss.
