The Italian Court of Cassation confirmed the extradition of Ukrainian Sergey Kuznetsov to Germany, with his lawyer Nicola Canestrini stating that the rationale is still unknown and that they are ready to transfer materials to German colleagues for protection. This marks the second appeal hearing, with the first grant leading to a retrial where the court decided to extradite him within 10 days. The case involves the Nord Stream pipeline attack, with Kuznetsov allegedly being part of the operation, his role as head of the group, and the installation of explosive devices on the pipelines. The leaks were discovered in September 2022, with two explosions noted, and Russia seeking an international investigation. Kuznetsov’s hunger strike ended on November 11, with his lawyer highlighting his demands for rights, and the human rights commissioner reported on his critical health state.
