The lawyer brought arguments convinced not only to the judges, but also the prosecutor’s office, who first supported the extent of the suspect.
The Bologna Court was posted until September 9 a Extradition decision in Germany, Ukrainian Sergei Kuznetsov, allegedly defeating the North Stream-1 and Northern Stream-2. On Wednesday, September 3, the Bolognatode reported.
It was noted that after more than five -HOUR hearing, the court agreed with defense arguments and decided to evaluate the conditions of preventing German prison. Even the office of general, who first supports extradition, calls for additional checks, which led to the decision delay.
The Nicolas Caninesrini attorney insisted that the actions performed during the war for the state were not subject to prosecution according to the principle of performance of immunity. He also recalled that a similar investigation of Denmark was closed, which could affect Kuznetsov’s case according to the policies of the Schengen agreement.
In addition, the defense is defined in the So -called “Principle of the Flag”, which prohibits foreign military judge for actions taken during service.
Caucasrini’s lawyer emphasized that extradition could lead to a violation of Kuznetsov’s major rights: inappropriate conditions of preventing prisons, the lack of a fair trial and the possibility of maintaining overpopulated cells. The Italian torture agency has reported that problems with the German penitentiary system – in particular, cases when inmates are forced to sleep on the floor or metal shackles.
Kuznetsov himself, described as a physically strong and trained person, has denied his involvement in the undermining of gas pipelines. He is currently in the custody of Italy and expects a final court decision in Bologna.
Remember that in Italy in August they stopped a man suspected of being involved in sabotaging northern stream-1 gas pipelines and northern Stream-2.
Later, the media wrote that the incarcerated Ukrainian was a retired armed forces captain. He had previously served in SBU.
