A suspect previously convicted in Russia had been stealing cars since he was 15 and was knowledgeable about special devices for opening and starting engines.
Italy extradited to Ukraine a citizen of Russia suspected of mass car theft cars.
This was reported by the Deputy Head of the National Police, Chief of the Criminal Police Andrei Nebytov on Facebook.
“A Russian citizen, the organizer of a criminal scheme to return stolen cars to owners for money, decided to hide from the law in Italy.
In August 2022, the police stopped the activities of two groups of car thieves, then 53 searches were conducted in nine regions. Nine episodes of illegal seizure of cars were documented. Six active participants were detained, three more, including the organizer, were put on the international wanted list. It turned out that the 47-year-old leader from the school was engaged in car theft, and on social networks he held master classes on opening locks and “covering up” his tracks, and also administered a Telegram channel where owners were offered to buy back their stolen cars for money., – the report says.
According to the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office, the competent authorities of Italy have made a decision to extradite a citizen of the Russian Federation.
“Special thanks to our partners – the police of Italy and Poland, who helped in the detention and extradition of the suspect,” Nebytov noted. – In my opinion, it is fair and just: he made money on Ukrainians – he will answer to Ukrainian justice.”
