According to him, extradition from the Netherlands is of two types – ordinary, which takes a couple of years, and high-speed, which takes a couple of months. While we are talking about the standard extradition procedure, the lawyer said.

Bukh admitted that he, Dubnikov and the Dutch lawyer of the Russian could agree to the US deportation request in order to sort out the case in the United States. This decision can be made because the United States is not obliged to provide the Netherlands with a full package of documents: a minimum set of documents is enough to start the expulsion procedure, the lawyer explained.

According to him, the Russian embassy in Holland has already received information about Dubnikov’s arrest. “They are working on it. We are waiting for some action from the Russian side, ”Bukh said.

Dubnikov was arrested at the request of the United States in the Netherlands on November 2, The Wall Street Journal reported. According to the US Department of Justice, the Russian was engaged in money laundering in the interests of the Ryuk hacker group, and also received a reward of $ 400 thousand in bitcoins from the funds that the victims transferred to the extortionists. Dubnikov did not admit his guilt, since he was not aware of any criminal actions, Bukh said in a conversation with the WSJ.

In 2020, Ryuk accounted for a third of all ransomware cyberattacks in the United States, cybersecurity firm SonicWall said. Initially, it was assumed that the group was associated with North Korea, but in 2019 experts from CrowdStrike and McAfee Labs reported that the malware was developed rather by “Russian-speaking hackers”. The Russian authorities have repeatedly denied their involvement in any hacker attacks.

Dubnikov is 29 years old. According to SPARK, he is the general director of the law firm Briefcase, in which he owns 50%. On November 5, the press service of Briefcase noted that “the unfounded accusations imputed to Dubnikov by US law enforcement agencies have nothing to do with the company’s activities.”
