This looks like something that would be done over an international mass murderer, but he is being tried for ... rape?

EDIT: Nvm, even if he is being tried for espionage, this looks disproportionate

No, he's being tried for espionage and hacking primarily (the actual indictment list is pretty long). The rape investigation was in Sweden, and has long since been dropped.

No that was the extradition to Sweden, this one is about espionage charges.
