The Federation Council (the upper house of the Russian parliament) approved in a plenary meeting an agreement with Nicaragua on the extradition of criminals.
According to the document, crimes that result in extradition are understood as acts that "have a criminal penalty and carry a penalty of deprivation of liberty for a period of not less than a year or a more severe penalty."
At the same time, the parties may deny extradition if they believe that this may harm sovereignty, security, public order or other essential interests.
