Italian police have arrested a Russian businessman who they believed played a role in the flight of a compatriot wanted in connection with an alleged Venezuelan oil smuggling ring.
Russian Artem Uss fled his home on the outskirts of Milan in March 2023 after an Italian court ruled that he should be sent to stand trial in the US for allegedly exporting sanctioned oil from state-owned oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA).
