U.S. soldier-turned-foreign fighter faces charges in Florida double murder after extradition from Ukraine

A former U.S. soldier has been extradited from Ukraine and is facing charges related to a double murder in Florida and other alleged crimes, officials said Monday. Craig Austin Lang, 34, allegedly committed the double murder as well as armed robbery and aggravated identity theft, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice. 

Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri referred to Lang's alleged actions as an "international crime spree" that was "shocking in its scope and its callous disregard for human life." He had been expected to make his first appearance in Fort Myers on Monday to face charges.

CBS News has reached out to Lang's court-appointed attorneys for comment.
