Greece has announced its intention to formally request the extradition of Vladimir Plahotniuc, a former Romanian politician and businessman, to Moldova. The move is scheduled for Thursday, pending approval from the Moldovan authorities. Greece alleges that Plahotniuc is accused of facilitating a significant financial fraud, resulting in a $1 billion loss for the Moldovan banking system. This extradition request comes before a crucial election in Moldova, and Greece is seeking to utilize this legal action. The legal process will involve a formal extradition treaty and a determination of Plahotniuc’s guilt.
