PRAGUE — Czech Republic officials have arrested a Russian citizen suspected of hacking targets in the United States.
The arrest, announced Tuesday, was the result of collaboration with the FBI and was based on a so-called Interpol red notice. It came just 12 hours after Czech police received information about the suspect, police said.
The suspect was arrested at a hotel in central Prague and the alleged hacker didn’t resist, Czech police said. Authorities told various news outlets that the suspect was arrested on Oct. 5 but the announcement was delayed for "tactical" reasons.
It's not clear if the suspect arrested in Prague has any link to the election-related hacks that have drawn significant attention this year. Multiple reporters tweeted on Wednesday morning that the suspected Russian hacker was not connected to the breach of the Democratic National Committee or other campaign-related intrusions.
The Obama administration announced earlier this month that it believes Russia is behind a series of hacks intended to influence the U.S. election. Russia, however, has denied the charges, with a spokesman for the Russian Embassy calling the accusation “another piece of nonsense!”
The DNC, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman have all been hacked this year.
The FBI said in a statement that the arrest shows the focus U.S. and international authorities are putting on cyber crimes.
"On October 18, 2016, the Czech National Police announced the arrest of a Russian citizen suspected of conducting criminal activities targeting US interests. As cyber crime can originate anywhere in the world, international cooperation is crucial to successfully defeat cyber adversaries," the FBI said. "This arrest, pursuant to an INTERPOL Red Notice, highlights the collaboration that exists between US law enforcement and our international partners. Due to the ongoing investigation, no additional details can be provided at this time."
Czech police said the suspect was traveling in the Czech Republic with his girlfriend and had a luxury car. Upon arrest, the man collapsed and was hospitalized, officials said. Extradition proceedings in Czech courts could see the suspect turned over to face possible charges in the United States.
Authorities haven't released the suspect's name.
Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, encouraged espionage earlier this year, inviting Russia in July to hack Clinton’s email. “I will tell you this, Russia: If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” he said during a news conference in Florida on July 27. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

OpinionsRepublicans undercut Trump ahead of final debateby nmccaskill@politico.com (Nolan D. McCaskill)
Donald Trump is a hypersensitive candidate who lashes out “almost uncontrollably” to criticism, Republicans shouldn’t exploit Russian hacks on Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and the election is not rigged.
It’s hard to imagine Republicans making a better argument for Clinton just hours ahead of the third and final presidential debate.
With Trump trailing nationally and in a number of battleground state polls — and even Arizona — Clinton’s campaign is expecting Trump to deploy a scorched-earth approach to their Las Vegas bout. But fellow Republicans unexpectedly placed a rhetorical firewall around the real estate mogul.
Indeed, if Newt Gingrich stepped on Trump’s toes by inadvertently highlighting his thin skin as a weakness “I hope he grows out of,” Marco Rubio and John Kasich stomped on both of his feet.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a top Trump surrogate, dealt the first blow when he offered a candid assessment of Trump’s shortcomings, including an expansion on his analogy of Big Trump, Little Trump.
There’s a side of Little Trump’s personality that’s “very sensitive, particularly to anything which attacks his own sense of integrity or his own sense of respectability, and he reacts very intensely, almost uncontrollably, to those kinds of situations,” Gingrich acknowledged during an interview conducted Tuesday and published Wednesday with the Washington Examiner’s David Drucker.
“I think that’s a weakness,” he added. “I hope he grows out of it.”
Trump was poised to enter Wednesday evening’s debate with an arsenal of WikiLeaks revelations to throw in Clinton's face. But he was advised by a prominent Republican voice to not go there.
Rubio, the Trump-supporting Florida senator who’s seeking reelection, warned Republicans against leveraging the WikiLeaks hack of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s personal account Wednesday morning, noting that while Democrats are the victims today, it could be Republicans tomorrow.
Perhaps no one has pushed the hacks more than Trump, who has encouraged his supporters at rallies to check out the stolen emails and blasted out headlines stemming from the disclosures to his 24 million followers on Twitter and Facebook.
Rubio argued later Wednesday in Tampa that Republicans have enough material to use against Clinton from her decades in the public eye without relying on the work of Russian agents hoping to influence the U.S. elections. He contended that giving credence to the hacks could lead to blackmail from subsequent breaches of elected officials and their family members.
“I think this one is an invitation to chaos and havoc in the future,” he said.
Kasich, the Ohio governor, and Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway both threw cold water on the notion that the election is rigged, a claim Trump has continued to push in recent days, drawing condemnation from President Barack Obama and members of the Republican Party.
“Look, to say that elections are rigged and all these votes are stolen, that’s like saying we never landed on the moon, frankly. That’s how silly it is,” Kasich said on “CBS This Morning.”
Even Conway agreed, though she argued during an interview on MSNBC that there’s a “larger conspiracy” against Trump.
“No, I do not believe that” there will be widespread voter fraud in the election, she said, adding that “there is a larger conspiracy, larger collusion.”
If Trump’s Facebook account is any indication, he didn’t the get the message from Rubio. Trump shared a Daily Caller article that, citing the WikiLeaks hacks, reported that Clinton’s campaign organized prospective vice presidential picks by race and gender.
Clinton press secretary Brian Fallon said on MSNBC that Trump’s campaign has been in a downward spiral since the first debate in September.
“I think Americans have had an opportunity to see them up close, and they’ve judged that Donald Trump doesn’t have the temperament to be president,” he said. “Increasingly, it looks like he’s gonna bring that scorched-earth approach to the final debate, too.”
For his part, Gingrich did praise Big Trump, but he also advised him not to sink to the level of “Saturday Night Live” Trump, as portrayed by Alec Baldwin, whom Trump lashed out at over the weekend, claiming his “portrayal stinks” and that the election is rigged.
“Well, if you’re gonna be president of the United States and a historic figure and not just change America but also change a lot about how we lead the world, you don’t descend to being the equivalent of Alec Baldwin,” Gingrich said.
