According to him, Vinnik may be extradited to Washington by January 7. Musatov suggested that this may be due to the visit of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to the United States, which is scheduled for January 7.

Musatov emphasized that the case of his client went beyond the legal field and is on the political plane.

Earlier, the Supreme Administrative Court of Greece suspended the execution of the decision of the Ministry of Justice of the country on the extradition of Vinnik to the United States, France and Russia.

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.
