Ukraine asked for the extradition of Vladimir G. on July 20, but Justice Minister Gábor Gál decided on his extradition only at the beginning of November, the TASR newswire reported.
In Ukraine, he is suspected of physical attacks, death threats, terrorism, gang activity, attacks on public authorities and so forth, the SITA newswire wrote.
