Overview

• The Greek Court of Appeal in Larissa authorized Charles Francis Kaufmann’s extradition to Italy under a European Arrest Warrant, dismissing his bid to return to the United States.
• Italian authorities are set to take custody of Kaufmann within 15 days to face charges of killing his partner Anastasia Trofimova and their infant daughter Andromeda.
• Investigators in Rome have collected DNA from Kaufmann and are analyzing his seized devices while awaiting mid-July histological findings to confirm causes of death.
• Magistrates have requested documents from the Ministry of Culture on the €863,000 tax credit awarded for Kaufmann’s never-made film to probe potential fraud.
• Kaufmann, who used aliases such as Rexal Ford and had five prior U.S. domestic violence arrests, is also under scrutiny for possible misuse of government film funds.
