Ukraine will extradite suspect in laundering funds worth about $30 mln to U.S.
The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine (PGO) has granted the United States request for the extradition of U.S. citizen Vladislav Khalupsky, wanted for a number of crimes, including fraud with securities and conspiracy to launder funds worth about $30 million, PGO Press Secretary Larysa Sarhan has said.
"Vladislav Khalupsky has American citizenship, but after his arrest he asked for Ukrainian citizenship. If his request is satisfied, the extradition of the suspect would not be possible," she wrote on her Facebook page.
In 2016, the New York District Court accused Khalupsky and his accomplices of conspiracy to commit fraud using electronic means of communications, fraudulent securities, and illegal interference for money laundering. In October an arrest warrant was issued.
Khalupsky was detained in Odesa in February 2017. On April 4 the Malynovsky Court of Odesa placed him under nightly house arrest.
