The specific charges he faces under Russian law have not been disclosed.
Russian media previously reported that Timofeyev and his wife left Chelyabinsk for Astana several days before the operation. It remains unclear whether he stayed in Kazakhstan or used it as a transit point.
The Kremlin gave no clear answer when asked whether Russia intends to cooperate with Kazakhstan in locating Timofeyev.
