The Latest: Russian man charged with hacking into US firms to testify that arrest was illegal
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The latest on a hearing for a Russian man charged with hacking into U.S. businesses (all times local):
9:20 a.m.
Federal agents who took a Russian hacking suspect into custody at a Maldives airport have testified that they treated him well and that he didn't ask to talk to a lawyer or the consulate.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Roman Seleznev tells a different story. He's scheduled to take the stand Friday to describe what he calls a traumatic arrest last year.
In a written statement to the court, Seleznev said agents screamed at him and pushed him around. He also says he repeatedly asked for a lawyer and for the agents to contact the Russian embassy.
His lawyers say the arrest violated Maldivian law and his charges should be dismissed.
