The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has decided to extradite Vasil Rodideal, a citizen of the Republic of Romania, who was arrested in Russia at the request of Interpol, to the Romanian authorities. This was announced on March 12 by his lawyer Lilia Mamasheva.

"The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation has decided to extradite Vasil Rodideal at the request of the Romanian Ministry of Justice. We appealed this decision, but the court of first instance upheld it. An appeal has been filed, but its consideration has not yet been scheduled," the lawyer said in an interview with RIA Novosti..

Mamasheva added that if the court of appeal confirms the lower court's decision, Rodidal, who has been in a Russian pre-trial detention center for more than a year, will be extradited to Romania. The criminal himself expressed a desire to stay in Russia, the agency's interlocutor concluded.
