An Italian appeals court approved the extradition to Germany of a Ukrainian man arrested last month on suspicion of setting off explosions that damaged North Stream gas pipelines between Russia and Germany, Italian media reported Tuesday.
The suspect, Serhii Kuznietsov, has opposed the extradition and his lawyer, Nicola Canestrini, said they would appeal the decision by an appeals court in Bologna to Italy’s highest Cassation Court, the Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera reported.
