When they do US gets them. That happens from time to time, if you watch the news, you notice there are guys caught periodically who thought it's time for a nice vacation in Spain resting from their criminal activities... only to be picked up in the airport. However, the smarter ones stay put inside Russia and those are hard to get.

Best example was when VW's Oliver Schmidt was arrested in Miami as he was changing planes. He was in trouble from the emissions fraud scheme.
