“We got acquainted with the decision of the Minister of Justice of Greece, which determines the order of execution of the decisions issued earlier by the Greek courts on the extradition of the Russian citizen Vinnik to Russia, France, and the USA. At the first stage, Vinnik will be issued to France. They informed Moscow about this, ”RIA Novosti quoted the representative of the diplomatic department as saying.
The embassy also expressed regret that "the reasonable request of the Prosecutor General of Russia for the priority extradition of Vinnik to his country of citizenship was ignored."
Earlier it was reported that the Minister of Justice of Greece Costas Ciaras signed a decision on the extradition of Vinnik to France.
In July 2017, a Russian was detained in Greece at the request of the United States. He is accused of laundering up to $ 4 billion using a cryptocurrency exchange.
