Его любят за то, что он делает свою работу лучше, чем многие другие могли бы сделать на его месте.Quote:

Yeah, selective, I'm not going to argue with you. But several thiefs in jail from thousands who deserves to be thrown there are better when no one. :roll:Quote:

А это зависит от того, когда Англия Березовского выгонит и Израиль Гусинского. :DQuote:

Mr. Khoder made one big mistake - he thought that if he had so much money, he could play dirty games with the Holy Vertical of Power. He is paying now for that.

If British courts were independent of central government, they would extradited such criminals like Berezovsky and Zakaev long time ago. The fact that they don't do that shows that they (the courts) can't do anything against the goverment's policy.Quote:

Or do British courts just rely on the UK's government opinion on the matter? In such case they cannot be defined as independent themselves.
Heh.Quote:

Get a grip lad.

That would be for the judge to decide after hearing the legal arguments of both sides. And the arguments would focus soley on whether or not he would receive a fair trial, not on whether or not he is guilty.
I'm not saying that the judgement was correct, just that there is no mechanism by which the UK government could interfere with it.
So it's up to judge then?
And the judge, being a loyal citizen and experienced professional, would never issue a decree that goes wrong against the general policy of the government.
But in reality you need lots of money and to be on good terms with someone like Putin. :PQuote:

There is not a general policy of the British government that 'Russian courts are corupt, therefore you can't extradict anyone to Russia'. You will find other people have been extradicted to Russia by British courts.Quote:

I'm not saying the British courts are free from curruption, but everyone knows that Russian courts are more corrupt, you just won't admit it.
Your clutching-at-straws is ammusing. Read the two links I posted earlier, they'll answer your question.Quote:

Возможно им удобно держать в Лондоне этих людей из-за того, что когда-то они придут к власти в России и дадут доступ Британцам к русским ресурсам.
