Overview

• A Warsaw district court ordered the 46-year-old Ukrainian to remain in custody for 40 days, citing flight risk after his arrest near Warsaw last week.
• The court will decide in the coming weeks whether to transfer him to Germany under the European Arrest Warrant sought by federal prosecutors in Karlsruhe.
• German authorities accuse him of jointly causing an explosive detonation, anti-constitutional sabotage and destruction of structures, describing him as a trained diver allegedly involved in placing charges near Bornholm in 2022.
• His defense says it will oppose extradition, arguing the warrant cannot be executed given the war in Ukraine.
• In a parallel track, an Italian court ordered the extradition of alleged coordinator Serhii K. in mid-September, though appeals continue and transfers could take weeks or months.
