“The Investigation Chamber canceled the court session previously scheduled for September 7 and rescheduled it for August 3,” TASS quoted him as saying.
According to the lawyer, until the hearing, Vinnik will remain imprisoned in a Paris prison.
In June, the Paris Court of Appeal confirmed the sentence of Alexander Vinnik, who had previously been sentenced to five years in prison on charges of money laundering.
Later it became known that the court would decide on the extradition of the Russian to the United States on September 7.
Alexander Vinnik was arrested in Greece in the summer of 2017 at the request of the United States.
The American authorities accused him of money laundering through a cryptocurrency exchange.
Two years later, the Russian was extradited to Paris, where in December 2020 he was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison.
The United States and Russia also filed requests for the extradition of Vinnik.
