In Los Angeles, a federal jury recommended the death penalty on February 13, 2007 for two men, Jurijus Kadamovas and Iouri Mikhel, convicted of murders in a kidnapping-for-ransom scheme targeting Russian immigrants.

Three co-conspirators pleaded guilty and testified at the trial for the government. The judge formally sentenced Kadamovas to death on March 12, 2007.
