Tho there's redacted paragraph on how Pyotr Levashov's botnet used, no other evidence his arrest tied to election. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/04/10/another-russian-hacker-not-affiliated-with-the-dnc-hack/ …
They being his wife, where that claim came from? DOJ never claimed it. Could be an effort on his part to set up competing extradition?

Couple points: 1) US might've thought that w/ criminal indictment, extradition was easier than if 'national security' tied to Pyotr Levashov

2) Noticed in 1 RU piece I read this am that previous RU hacker arrested in Jan. in Spain still hadn't been extradited by Mar. 31.

Yup. In this case, they will at least sinkhole his botnet.
