“ The Italian Court of Appeal in the city of Bologna confirmed the decision to extradite Ukrainian Serhiy Kuznetsov to Germany, who is suspected of involvement in the 2022 blow-up of the Nord Stream gas pipeline. Source: “Evropeyska Pravda” with reference to dpa Details: Back in mid-September, the Italian court ruled on Kuznetsov’s extradition to Germany, but the Ukrainian’s defense managed to stop this process. The Italian Supreme Court returned the case to the court in Bologna due to procedural violations. A new court ruling opens the way for German prosecutors to directly question a suspect in connection with the sabotage that disrupted a key connection for the supply of Russian gas to Europe. However, the lawyer of 49-year-old Ukrainian Nikola Canestrini announced after the decision of the court in Bologna that he would appeal to the Court of Cassation in Rome. The man, identified only as Sergei K. under German data protection law, was arrested in August near the Italian city of Rimini on a European warrant. We will remind that we are talking about a citizen of Ukraine Serhiy Kuznetsov. According to a statement released by German prosecutors in August, Kuznetsov was part of a group of individuals who planted explosive devices on pipelines near the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. He was charged with conspiracy to cause an explosion, anti-constitutional sabotage and destruction of important buildings. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stated that Ukraine was not involved in the explosions, and offered to analyze which players might need such an information dump.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
