“Athens Court of Appeal, the competent court in examining the extradition procedure informed our country's General Prosecutor's Office that he has not consented to extradition to the Republic of Moldova. The General Prosecutor's Office will provide additional information on the progress of the extradition request, submitted on 24 July,” announced the institution.

The General Prosecutor's Office has sent the Greek authorities the extradition request for Vladimir Plahotniuc.
