Thessaloniki Court of Appeals

The 24-year-old foreign national, wanted by the Swedish judicial authorities for involvement in a gang led by Greek-Swede Michael Tenezos, will be remanded in custody pending a decision on his extradition to Sweden, the prosecutor decided on Monday.

The Thessaloniki Court of Appeals has ruled for the extradition of Alexander Vikkin, the suspected mastermind of a $4 billion bitcoin laundering ring, to Russia. Greek courts had recently ruled for the extradition of the 38-year-old to the US, a decision that had outraged Russia! Now he has been extradited to both the US and Russia!

A Greek court sentenced on June 3 a member of an outlawed Turkish leftist group to seven years in prison for his role in a 2011 explosion in Greece’s second largest city, Thessaloniki, which left one person dead.
