live from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching artsy with me a new some now way it's four pm here in the russian capital seven pm in bangkok where thai authorities say a russian businessman wanted for arms dealing in the u.s. will not be extradited immediately reports that a special plane to collect victor boot has already arrived in bangkok where he's being held our correspondent covering us are of a has been following the latest developments in the case there's finally been some clarity in the case it is very unlikely that we that it will be thailand day that is according to the country's prime minister who said that according to tie laws because the united states already has filed a new set of charges against me that aboard those include money laundering he will not be extradited until those charges are actually heard for of course the united states realizing that the basic. they set

a spoke in their own will are now trying to do their best to withdraw those charges in order to be able to proceed with the extradition process but for now if the boot remains in solitary confinement in the infamous bank called hilton the thai prison in the capital bank called the first united states authorities are doing everything they can to extradite the man to the u.s. as quickly as possible according to some rumors there's already a charge it is a special chartered plane stationed at the air force base in thailand that was sent there just to pick up food and bring him back to the united states so he could stand trial there but so far basically all those attempts to extradite the man as soon as the ruling was made on august twentieth have failed we don't know what will happen tomorrow but for now think that a bit remains that talent he was arrested in at the thai capital bangkok in march two thousand and eight. mile by the u.s.
