Vinnik was arrested by undercover FBI agents soon after while vacationing with his family in Greece. Vinnik decided on refusing voluntary extradition to the U.S., maintaining that, as he is a Russian citizen, he should be tried by a Russian court. Russia at the time submitted an extradition request for separate charges, Vinnik stated he would voluntarily comply with that request. So what where the other charges
However, as reported by the New York Post, a three-judge panel ruled that the U.S. request to extradite Vinnik should be granted. Vinnik is allowed to appeal the decision to the Greek Supreme Court, and he is expected to do so later week.
