Viktor Anatolyevich Bout[a] (
/buːt/; Russian: Ви́ктор Анато́льевич Бут, romanized:
Viktor Anatolyevich But; born 13 January 1967) is a Russian
arms dealer and politician. A weapons manufacturer and former
Soviet military translator, he used his companies to smuggle arms from Eastern Europe to Africa and the Middle East during the 1990s and early 2000s. Bout gained the epithet the "
Merchant of Death" after British minister
Peter Hain read a report to the United Nations in 2003 on Bout's wide-reaching operations, extensive clientele, and willingness to bypass embargoes.
In a 2008 US
sting operation Bout was arrested in
Thailand on terrorism charges by the
Royal Thai Police in cooperation with American authorities and
Interpol. The
United States Ambassador to Thailand Eric G. John requested his
extradition, which was mandated by the
Supreme Court of Thailand in 2010. Bout was accused of intending to sell arms to a United States
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) informer pretending to
represent the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) for use against American forces in Colombia, but Bout denied the charges and predicted an acquittal.
In 2011 Bout was convicted by a
jury at a
federal court in Manhattan, of conspiracy to kill
American citizens and officials, delivery of
anti-aircraft missiles, and providing aid to a terrorist organization; he was sentenced to the minimum 25 years' imprisonment. From 2012 until 2022, Bout was held at the
United States Penitentiary, Marion. In 2022, he was released in a
prisoner exchange for American basketball player
Brittney Griner, who had been sentenced, in August 2022, to 9 years of imprisonment for bringing 0.7g
[4] of
cannabis oil into Russia. Bout had served 10 years in prison before his release in December 2022.
After returning to Russia, Bout joined the
Liberal Democratic Party of Russia in 2022 and won a seat in the
Legislative Assembly of Ulyanovsk Oblast as a member of the LDPR on 2 July 2023.
