A Greek court has accepted a Russian request to extradite Bitcoin (BTC) fraud suspect Alexander Vinnik, complicating subsequent international litigation, the Associated Press reported July 30.
A panel of senior judges in the city of Thessaloniki ruled in favor of a new extradition request from Russia for the accused computer expert.
The court’s decision complicates the case as the U.S. and France seek his extradition as well.
Authorities accused him of fraud and laundering as much as $4 billion in Bitcoin over the course of six years.
On July 13, a Greek court “granted France’s request for Vinnik’s extradition,” which could lead to further extradition to the U.S.
