The Italian Supreme Court of Cassation has rejected the defense's appeal against the decision to extradite Kuznetsov to Germany at the request of the local prosecutor's office. According to the lawyer, the suspect will be handed over to Germany within 10 days.
“We have taken note of this decision. Its rationale is still unknown. We are ready to transfer the accumulated documents to our colleagues in Germany for protection,” Canestrini said.
On October 27, a court in Bologna decided to extradite Kuznetsov to Germany. According to investigators, he was a crew member of the sailing yacht Andromeda, which was allegedly used to sabotage gas pipelines.
