Latvian authorities reportedly planned to request the extradition of V. Antonov from Lithuania. Regarding the ongoing legal situation, N.
Grunskienė informed journalists on Tuesday that a request was received the previous week and is currently undergoing evaluation; resolution depends on the completion of all necessary processes. According to the prosecutor’s office, V. Antonov was brought into Lithuania by plane in late May.
Upon arrival, he was transferred to officers who escorted him to the Vilnius County Police Commissioner’s office. Antonov is associated with the bankruptcy proceedings of the “Snor” bank. The legal timeline surrounding the case has been active.
The first court session concerning the matter is set for June. This development follows the rejection of V. Antonov’s appeal by the French Supreme Court on May 13.
This rejection occurred subsequent to the issuance of a European Arrest Warrant on April 3, with the decision from the Rennes Court of Appeal becoming effective on June 3. The procedural developments indicate that the legal status of Antonov remains under review within Lithuania. While the initial focus was on the potential extradition, the current proceedings are moving through established judicial channels following his arrival in the country.
