CHISINAU, February 15. /TASS/. The head of the Interpol office in Moldova, Viorel Tentiu, said Russia had turned down the country’s request for opposition figurehead Ilan Sor.
"Today I got a letter from Russian colleagues, confirming Sor’s presence in Russia. But Moscow refuses to extradite him to Moldova," Tentiu said the country’s TV-8 channel.
In his words, Moscow said that Interpol should not interfere into "political, military, religious or ethnic affairs.".
