Kosice Court Decides on Remanding Ukrainian in Extradition Custody

Kosice, July 27 (TASR) – The Kosice Regional Court on Friday decided on changing the custody status for arrested Ukrainian national Volodymyr G., who is suspected of terrorism in Ukraine, from preliminary custody to extradition custody.

The suspect immediately filed an appeal against the verdict, so his case will have to be decided by Slovakia’s Supreme Court.

Volodymyr G. at the court rejected all accusations, claiming that he’s a journalist.
