Germany will be obliged to arrest the president-dictator of the Russian Federation,
Vladimir Putin
, if he comes to the country.
This was stated by the Minister of Justice of Germany, Marko Buschmann, Zeit writes.
According to the head of the Ministry of Justice, if the head of the Kremlin crosses the country's border, the International Criminal Court will quickly turn to Interpol to execute an arrest warrant.
"Then Germany will be obliged to arrest President Putin if he enters German territory and hand him over to the International Criminal Court," the minister said.
Bushmann noted that the International Criminal Court, unlike national law enforcement agencies, can arrest presidents.
