Rome, Nov 27, (dpa/GNA) – The suspected mastermind of the Nord Stream pipeline explosions has been extradited from Italy to Germany, judicial sources told dpa on Thursday.
The 49-year-old Ukrainian national was transferred to German police, after three months in Italian custody.
He is expected to arrive shortly in Karlsruhe, where the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office is based.
An extended legal battle over the extradition was settled in Italy’s highest court last week.
German prosecutors accuse the man of causing the explosions on the Baltic Sea gas pipelines in 2022.
