"An Italian court has approved the extradition of a Ukrainian man suspected of taking part in the 2022 explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, his lawyer confirmed Monday. The explosions destroyed three of the four Nord Stream gas pipelines, which had become a contentious symbol of Germany's dependence on Russian energy after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine."
"The decision clears the way for German prosecutors to question the suspect directly in connection with the sabotage, which severed a key link for Russian gas supplies to Europe. The man, identified only as Serhii K. under German privacy laws, was arrested in August. His lawyer was cited by the Reuters news agency as saying he will appeal the decision."
An Italian court approved the extradition of a Ukrainian man suspected of involvement in the September 2022 explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. The blasts destroyed three of four pipelines, disrupting a key link for Russian gas supplies to Europe. The suspect, named Serhii K. under German privacy laws, was arrested in August near Rimini while on vacation and has been held in a high-security Italian prison. German Federal Prosecutor accuses him of jointly causing an explosion involving explosives and of anti-constitutional sabotage. His lawyer plans to appeal after procedural delays previously halted extradition.
