“This is my initial decision. I will review it if circumstances change. You remain in custody, ”said Judge John Anderson.
Earlier, the Russian embassy sent a note of protest to the State Department over the extradition of Burkov to the United States.
The US Department of Justice said that the damage from the alleged hacking activity of the Russian citizen amounted to $ 20 million. If convicted, he faces up to 80 years in prison.
Alexei Burkov was detained in 2015 at the request of Washington during passport control when leaving Israel. In the USA he is accused of “cybercrimes”.
