“Mr. Vinnik will appear in court today at 10:30 (20:30 Moscow time),” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Earlier, lawyer Zoya Konstantopoulou said that Vinnik disappeared after arriving in Greece from France.

The Russian family said that Vinnik was taken to the United States on a private plane, at the moment he is in San Francisco.

On August 5, the United States authorities notified Russian diplomats of the arrest of Russian Alexander Vinnik.
