They are being translated now and will be passed on to a court" Viktor Burobin said… He said his client could receive up to 15 years in jail if extradited and convicted in the U. "I believe there is a fifty-fifty chance he may be tried in Thailand or extradited to the United States" the lawyer said adding that Bout's extradition to Russia was doubtful.
