(Kathimerini) A Greek court rejected on Wednesday an extradition request by Tajikistan against a 27-year-old national who is wanted on an international arrest warrant for his alleged ties to the ISIS terrorist group.
The members of the Board of Appeals in the city of Nafplio, southern Greece, accepted the argument of the Tajik man and his lawyer, Dimitris Zorbas, who said that the extradition request is politically motivated as the 27-year-old’s wife’s brother is a senior official in his country’s opposition, Kathimerini understands.
This is the reason that the Asylum Agency had accepted his asylum request in 2018.
