Argentina extradited a citizen of Colombia to Russia, accused of stealing jewelry worth 160 million rubles. This was announced by the official representative of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia Andrei Ivanov, RIA Novosti reports.
Colombian citizen Edgar Alejandro Valero Valero is accused in Russia of theft on an especially large scale. According to the investigation, in July 2018, in the exhibition pavilion of Kazan, a thief stole a travel suitcase with jewelry worth 160 million rubles from an employee of the jewelry company Seven Diamonds, after which he disappeared.
The court in Kazan arrested the criminal in absentia, and he was put on the wanted list.
In September 2019, the Colombian was detained in Argentina, and only in September 2020 was it possible to obtain a positive decision on his extradition. Accompanied by officers of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and the Russian Bureau of Interpol, Edgar Alejandro Valero Valero will be delivered to Moscow.
In February, Serbia extradited a fraudster to Russia, who is accused of embezzling $ 5 million. We are talking about the acting deputy chairman of the board of the commercial bank (CB) “Eurostandard” Daria Gnezdich. In 2017, a woman, in collusion with other employees of the bank, entered into a banknote deal with Globexbank for the purchase of $ 5 million. According to the terms of the agreement, Globexbank transferred 292 million rubles to the partner's account. However, the amount allocated for the deal was stolen by Gnezdich and her colleagues.
