Greek Court Reverses Its Judgement on Extradition of Alleged Crypto Criminal
3
The top administrative court of Greece has reversed its judgement on extradition
of Alexander Vinnik, a Russian crypto criminal suspected for billion dollar’s
laundering with the help of a cryptocurrency
exchange. Cryptoknowmics reported on Dec. 23 that the Greek court officials
were about to extradite the Russian crypto criminal Vinnik. However, Vinnik’s
lawyer said today that the decision against Vinnik has been suspended until the
court hears any further appeal, the date of which is still pending. It comes off as
a welcome relief for Alexander Vinnik, who finds himself embroiled in various
crypto laundering cases.

Earlier Report On Extradition
Earlier it was reported that Transparency and Human Rights, and the Greek Ministry of
Justice, have put their decision to extradite the Russian crypto criminal to France this
month. At that time, the Russian Embassy showed its displeasure at the Greek
government’s decision to overlook Russia’s request to extradite Vinnik to his home
country due to his ill health condition. The ministry’s decision to extradite Vinnik had
reportedly made him begin another hunger strike, leading his lawyer Zoe
Costantopoulou to describe the decision equivalent to the death sentence.

Upcoming Decision For Extradition

Vinnik is the mastermind behind the international money laundering scheme worth $4
billion, and he used cryptocurrency exchange BTC-e. Earlier in 2017, Vinnik had openly
declared himself innocent and revealed that he had also served as a digital technology
specialist to help Russian President Vladimir Putin with crypto services.
According to a report, in July, prosecutors from America registered a complaint against
Vinnik. Over time, France, the United States and Russia had made multiple requests
for Vinnik’s extradition, altering the matter in a conflict over a strategic intelligence
asset between Russia and the U.S.A. The Greek Ministry of Justice’s decision had
earlier noted that the second extradition destination for the Russian crypto
criminal should be the U.S.A., and then Russia after the proceedings against him get
completed in France.
