“An Italian court has ordered the extradition to Germany of a Ukrainian man suspected of coordinating attacks on Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea in 2022, a ruling reviewed by Reuters on Tuesday showed, but he plans a further appeal. The man, identified only as Serhii K. under German privacy laws, was arrested last month near the Italian coastal town of Rimini on a European warrant. His defence team said he would take his case to the Court of Cassation, Italy’s highest court. … The suspect was part of a group of people who planted devices on the pipelines near the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, according to a statement issued by the German prosecutor’s office in August.” (09/16/25)
