Greece’s Council of State has decided to extradite former operator of now-shuttered crypto exchange BTC-e and Russian national Alexander Vinnik to France.
local news outlet Greek Reporter reported the court’s decision on Jan. 23. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated, “The decision to extradite him to France is inadmissible as long as no explanations have been provided why he is not extradited to Russia. His family has been broken up, his right to life and health violated. Greece is obliged to hold prisoners in conditions that do not allow torture and bullying.”
Vinnik was arrested in Greece by local police and accused of heading a group that laundered $4 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) over the course of six years.
