“The Chairman of the 4th Department of the State Council issued an interim order today to suspend the execution of the decision to extradite Alexander Vinnik to France, the United States and Russia, recognizing the danger that Alexander will face if he is extradited,” TASS quotes her.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Ministry of Justice of Greece made a “crafty” decision to extradite Vinnik to the United States.
December 22, it became known about the preparation of Greece for the extradition of Vinnik to the United States.
The Russian was detained in Athens in July 2017 at the request of the United States. He is accused of laundering up to $ 4 billion using a cryptocurrency exchange.
