German investigations: Pre-trial detention for North Stream suspect in Croatia
Volodymyr Z. wants to prevent his imminent extradition to Germany. His lawyer is citing Poland, which refused to transfer Z. But does he have a chance with that in Croatia?
A court in Pula, Croatia, has remanded Ukrainian national Volodymyr Z. in custody, initiating proceedings for his potential extradition to Germany. Z. is suspected of involvement in the September 2022 Nord Stream pipeline attacks and was arrested on a European arrest warrant issued by Germany. His lawyer, Matija Milos, plans to challenge the extradition and will appeal if necessary.
The case must be resolved within 60 days under Croatian law. Z. allegedly helped place explosives on the pipelines as one of the divers involved in the attacks.
