Russia has issued an arrest warrant for a judge at the International Criminal Court (ICC) who in March issued a warrant for President Vladimir Putin on war crimes charges. TASS reported on November 8 that Judge Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez was listed as "wanted under an article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation" on the Interior Ministry's online database. Russia has placed other ICC judges and officials on its wanted list after arrest warrants were issued for Putin and his children's commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, accusing them of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine -- a war crime.
