[anti-abuse-wg] An arrest in Russia

Well the RIPE  pay for a legal counsel isn't that great, so they probably aiming for a junior.

As for the 'affair'​, legal wheels turn slowly, so most likely RIPE wasn't directly involved, so most likely 'Soldatov' was pressured into returning the ip-space as he is also co-owner of the Czech company. Looks like it was a two prong approach, sell/give the ip-space to a Czech company and use that vehicle to sell the ip-space for a profit. Money then is outside Putins hands, also no problems with 'sanctions' etc.  But then again what do I know.​--
