This misses the point that Borodin was arrested by the US authorities at the behest
of the *Swiss* authorities because of financial malfeasance under *Swiss* law. There
was a valid Interpol arrest warrant. You can't just blame the CIA for everything.
This is quite different from the British arrest of Pinochet. There is no doubt that
Borodin and Berezovsky embezzled Russian state funds and misused Swiss bank
accounts, breaking Swiss law in the process, in order to hide the money. Berezovsky
has admitted as much himself. Why on earth is this matter an attack on the dignity
of the Russian state??? Why on earth was this self-confessed criminal, Borodin, made
secretary of the Russian-Belarus Union?
