The imperative of transparency as Boston Bombing probe takes a fatal turn

13:17 10/06/2013 On May 22, the FBI Boston Division released a somewhat nebulous statement announcing that a “shooting incident involving an FBI special agent” had occurred early that same morning in Orlando. Without mentioning the names of any of those involved in the incident, the statement explained that during the course of an interview connected with the pending Boston Marathon bombing investigation, the interviewee had initiated a violent confrontation, adding that: “During the confrontation, the individual was killed and the agent sustained non-life threatening injuries.”

A business amnesty: Mission impossible

16:45 31/05/2013 The idea of an amnesty for thousands of Russian businesspeople who have been sentenced or are in prison under Criminal Code articles on economic crimes sounds utopian in today’s Russia. It was proposed by business ombudsman Boris Titov – but Vladimir Putin, as well as the majority of Russians – have rejected it outright.

As media reels from AP probe, Russian-US crime ring suspects urge hunt for leaks

The US State Department’s War Crimes Rewards Program takes on a new life

16:28 10/05/2013 US President Barrack Obama signed off on a law last January offering millions of dollars in rewards for information leading to the arrest, capture, or transfer of certain fugitives, such as those sought for certain horrendous large-scale crimes by international, mixed, and hybrid tribunals, including “new mixed courts that may be established in places such as the Democratic Republic of Congo or for Syria.”

Boston tragedy: The curtains are lifted

12:02 25/04/2013 The law enforcement agencies, which played the lead role during the first part of the Boston tragedy, performed in the best traditions of action movies. They chased the suspects, seized their car and engaged in a shootout with the suspects, during which one of the suspected terrorists was killed. Prosecutors and defense attorneys are moving to the forefront during part two, which promises to be no less thrilling, albeit less dynamic.
