One of those returned to Russia as part of the prisoner swap is Vadim Krasikov, a colonel in Russia's FSB intelligence service, who was convicted of murdering an exiled dissident in Berlin

deal was "not an even trade" because innocent Americans were traded for Russians who, he said, were "not innocent" and "convicted of serious crimes".

"fact that these individuals had been flagged" makes it "quite unlikely that they would attempt to reappear in Western countries again ... but we do run that risk."
