You think lawyers have screwed thing up here, take a look at this: "Russia Tries to Sue U.S. Spy Suspect for $251 Million (Update1) 11/24/0 7:15 (New York) (Adds Moscow court decision in second paragraph.) Moscow, Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The Russian Navy filed a 7 billion ruble (250.8 million) lawsuit against Edmund Pope, the 54- year old retired U.S. Navy captain accused of espionage by the Russian government, Interfax news agency reported. A Moscow court said it refused to start proceedings on the lawsuit, the agency said. The Russian Navy's anti-submarine weapons department claimed that information it says Pope obtained about a new type of torpedo damaged Russia's security, the agency said. The development and production of the torpedo cost 7 billion rubles at 2000 prices, the navy said. The Federal Security Service, the main successor to the KGB, arrested Pope on April 5. He was charged with collecting state secrets. Pope says he is innocent, and that the information was already public. The U.S., which also says Pope wasn't involved in espionage, has called on Russia to free him because of concern about his health. Pope faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty.
