A Polish court has extended the custody of a Ukrainian diver linked to the Nord Stream explosions for 40 days, pending extradition to Germany.
WARSAW (Reuters) -A Polish court decided on Monday that the Ukrainian diver wanted by Berlin over his alleged involvement in explosions which damaged the Nord Stream gas pipeline, must remain in custody for another 40 days.
Volodymyr Z. was detained near Warsaw last Tuesday and the court decided he would be kept in custody for seven days. The court decided on Monday to extend his detention while a decision is made on whether to transfer him to Germany based on a European arrest warrant.
