- Authorities plan to notify Greece to extend the European arrest warrant to cover the new charge, and prosecutors are expected to seek an immediate trial.
- Kaufmann was arrested on the Greek island of Skiathos after fleeing Rome, later extradited to Italy, and had used the alias Rexal Ford on travel documents.
