ROME (AP) — Italy is investigating how a Russian businessman escaped from house arrest to avoid extradition to the U.S. on charges of breaking sanctions. Artyom Uss was arrested at Milan’s main airport in October 2022 on a U.S. warrant. In March, he apparently removed an electronic bracelet at the home near Milan where he had been confined since November. Uss, the son of a Russian regional governor, resurfaced in Russia in early April. Italian media say Italy’s justice minister has ordered a probe into his escape. Uss’ father reportedly thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for his son’s return.
