U.S. authorities have deported a Russian man on charges of violating U.S. immigration laws, which, according to U.S. media reports, is linked to a recent spy scandal between Russia and the United States.
Spokesman for the U.S. Homeland Security Department Matt Chandler told RIA Novosti that a court ruling to deport Alexei Karetnikov was made on July 12.
Chandler said the man agreed to be deported, adding that he would face criminal charges if he tried to return to the United States.
