#2No word on who was arrested or who their victims were.
All we have to confirm the story is political posturing from two global superpowers over an arrest in a third country. This sounds like the opening act of a cold war era political struggle. War by proxy, etc.
Can we please not repeat that chapter in history?
Or, if we're going to do so, at least not use hackers as the pawns in this sick game? I'd appreciate at least that much.

Computer Crime Illegal In Czech Republic by Czech Law: Check!

Bilateral Extradition Treaty Present Between US and Czech Republic: Check!
European Union Recognizes Validity Of Bilateral Extradition Treaties With The US: Check!
I am not clear on the basis of Russia's expectation that they're going to get their hacker back soon.

That expectation probably has nothing to do with the law or legal means.

Which part do you consider an opening act of a cold war?
Launching a cyber attack in a foreign country - or arresting someone who launched a cyber attack?

All of the above, really. I meant act in a literary sense, not as in "one specified unit of verb".

Probably that hacker shouldn't have worked for Russian intelligence while living in a NATO country. I'd expect the same for an NSA hacker working out of Turkmenistan or something.

Is there any benefit to a Russian hacker not working from Russia?

to be truly accurate, it is _allegedly_ launching a cyber attack.
