Moscow puts ICC judge who issued arrest warrant against Russian officials on wanted list
A Russian court has issued an arrest warrant for Haykel Ben Mahfoudh, a judge at the International Criminal Court (ICC), the outlet Mediazona reported on Monday.
Mahfoudh was one of three judges who issued arrest warrants against former Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and General Staff Chief Valery Gerasimov in June for ordering attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine. He was charged under Russia’s law against unlawful detention.
The Russian authorities previously issued arrest warrants against ICC judges Rosario Aitala, Sergio Godinez and Tomoko Akane, as well as chief prosecutor Karim Khan, over the court’s warrants against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Children's Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova.
