6-9-2023 (MOSCOW) The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has reportedly placed the President of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Piotr Hofmanski, on the country’s wanted list, as indicated by local media reports.
The ministry’s database revealed that “Hofmanski Piotr Jozef, Polish,” is now wanted under a specific article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Furthermore, the First Vice President of the ICC, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza, and Judge Bertram Schmitt have also been included on the wanted list.
These actions come in response to the ICC’s issuance of an arrest warrant on March 17, this year, against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova. The arrest warrant alleges their involvement in an alleged war crime of unlawfully deporting Ukrainian children.
