Viktor Bout Child, Elizaveta Bout, was born in 1994 in the United Arab Emirates. Her mother’s name is Alla Bout, while her father’s name is Viktor bout.
She is the only child of her parents. She is 28 years as of 2022, and her precise date of birth is still unknown.
Because she avoids the spotlight, not much is known about her. Her father has recently returned to Russia.
In a dramatic high-level prisoner swap for the notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout, the so-called “Merchant of Death,” who had been imprisoned in the U.S. for 12 years, Russia released the imprisoned U.S. basketball player Brittney Griner on Thursday.
In a statement distributed by Russian news organizations, the Russian Foreign Ministry acknowledged the trade, stating that Bout had been brought home after the transaction took place in Abu Dhabi.
Griner was received by a U.S. official when she stepped off a Russian plane in Abu Dhabi, as seen in Russian media. Hugs from two Russians greeted Bout.
Later, Bout was seen on Russian television exiting the aircraft on a snow-covered tarmac in Moscow, his mother and wife embracing him and presenting him with flowers.
The United States liberated Bout, a former lieutenant colonel in the Soviet Army who the Justice Department previously referred to as one of the most active arms dealers in the world.
He was detained in Thailand in 2008, and in 2010 he was returned to the United States.
Bout was serving a 25-year term on allegations that he conspired to sell tens of millions of dollars in weapons that U.S. officials believed would be used against Americans.
To complete the prisoner swap, Biden granted executive clemency to release the arms dealer from a federal prison in Illinois.
What happened with her father?
Viktor Anatolyevich Bout, the father of Elizaveta, is a Russian arms dealer and ex-Soviet military interpreter.
Viktor Bout was arrested in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2008 after American spies pretended to be Colombian insurgents in a sting operation.
On November 2, 2011, a jury in a Manhattan federal court found Bout guilty of conspiring to kill Americans, buy and export anti-aircraft missiles, and provide material support to a terrorist organization.
He was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Due to a prisoner exchange agreement started by the U.S. President to liberate basketball player and American citizen Brittney Griner, who was also detained in Russia, Viktor Bout was released today, December 8, 2022.
Victor Bout, who was serving a lengthy prison term in the United States, received a visit from Elizaveta and her mother, Alla, in 2019.
At Marion Federal Prison, the family got their first opportunity to unite since his detention in 2012.
