This was announced by Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko on his Facebook page.

According to him, the criminal stole from the Italians hundreds of millions of euros and for many years hiding in different countries of the world.

Thanks to the investigative operative actions of policemen in the spring of this year, he was detained. Thus, the attacker after some time was sent back to his homeland, where he would appear before the court.

"The procedure for the extradition of Nicosia was completed in three months and on Sunday, July 16," - said Lutsenko.

At the same time, the Prosecutor General added that this event was another step towards strengthening Ukrainian-Italian cooperation between law enforcement agencies and gives grounds for counting on Italy's constructive position in the Vitaly case.

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform," Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko handed suspicions to the People's Deputy from the "Popular Front" Maxim Polyakov and non-factional deputy Borislav Rosenblatt.
