Washington, Jan. 5. Russia has asked the United States to hand over. to the Soviet authoritics "as a crimi- nal" one of its former trade mission employees in Mexico, who walked out on his job last week.
The Soviet Embassy an nounced that it had informed the State Department that Kiril Alexiseev, former cm- ployee of the Soviet trade repre- sentative to Mexico, was ac⭑ cused of having. "erbezzled r considerable amount of money" in connection with his work in Mexico.
He is also accused of "tren- chery and trenson to his coun try."
Early this week in New York, Martin Richmond, attorney, is- sued a statement on behalf of the man identified as Kiril M. Alexkseev, formerly 11 em- ployee in Mexico, who sharply criticised the Soviet Union and declared that he would not re- turn to a life under the hell of dictatorship in Russia-As- sociated Press,
