With no direct flights to Russia, Chris would likely have to do a connecting flight from another country.
Well, of course, as soon as he lands in another country, yet again the saga continues, with the Interpol Red Notice being flagged, arrest, detention, and again the possibility of extradition to the United States.
So how does one get from Saudi to Russia without stopping?
So Christopher Eames is finally a free man, still wanted, but free, and on his way to Dagestan in Russia.
Chris has nothing but nice things to say about Russia and its people, who he says have all been extremely welcoming and kind.
Now, my first thoughts about a man wanted by America arriving in Russia is that maybe he might have got a knock on the door from the infamous KGB.
But he says this has never happened.
Since our interview, Chris has been granted asylum in Russia and has no plans on leaving any time soon.
His family all still live back in the UK and although he says of course it would be lovely to go and visit them, he says that due to the extremely lax extradition treaty between the US and the UK, he has no doubt that he would be immediately sent to the United States to face these charges.
And as for if he thinks the US are still keeping tabs on him?
This is the story of Christopher Ems, a man who says the charges against him are completely bogus.
However, I recently came across a man who was certainly not innocent of his crimes.
Crimes that would see him facing the death penalty by firing squad.
until a daring escape would see him wanted.
Generally, when we think of wanted people, we think of America's most wanted and the FBI's wanted list.
The people that are placed on this list are supposedly individuals who pose a grave threat to national security or the security of the people of the nation.
The FBI's most wanted list began back in the 1950s and since its inception has featured some infamous characters.
such as Whitey Bolger, an organised crime boss from New Jersey, who would spend 16 years on the list until his eventual capture and imprisonment.
The lady dubbed the Crypto Queen, Ruja Ignatova, who would scam investors of her fake cryptocurrency, OneCoin, out of a reported $4 billion.
