“The embassy received an official notification from the Greek side that Vinnik was extradited to France,” RIA Novosti quoted the representative of the diplomatic department.

Earlier, Vinnik’s lawyer Timofei Musatov said that his client was taken from the hospital and taken to the airport.

Later it was reported that the Russians were taken out of Greece and placed in a Paris hospital.

Vinnik’s French lawyer, Arian Zimra, said the judge will consider the pre-trial detention of the Russian on Tuesday, January 28.
