“On June 16, Russian citizen Dmitry Ukrainsky was extradited from Thailand, despite the presence of two conflicting court decisions of the Kingdom of Thailand on his extradition to the United States and simultaneously to Russia,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Melnikov added that the process of extradition of the Russian took place in an atmosphere of extreme secrecy, which "looked more like a kidnapping."
In 2019, the Bangkok Criminal Court ruled to allow Ukrainian extradition to the United States at the request of the American side.
Russian Dmitry Ukrainsky was sentenced in Thailand to ten years in prison on charges of embezzling funds from credit cards.
In July 2018, his defense appealed the verdict.
He was arrested by the Thai police in 2016 at the request of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation.
