“We have filed an appeal to appeal the verdict on aggravated money laundering charges.
We will also challenge the decision to pay compensation to the injured parties and a fine, ”he told TASS.
According to Belo, the Court of Appeal has four months to consider it, "since Vinnik is still in custody."
Based on the results of the consideration of the appeal, the issue of the extradition of his client will also be clarified, the lawyer said.
Earlier, the Paris court found Vinnik guilty of money laundering in a cybercrime case.
A Russian citizen was sentenced to five years in prison and a € 100,000 fine.
At the same time, the court did not find him guilty under a number of articles: in particular, charges of extortion and creation of the Locky program were dropped from him.
