At the Athens airport, representatives of the Hellenic Republic's law enforcement agencies handed over Andrey Fradin to the employees of the Interpol National Security Service of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. The Russian citizen was on the international wanted list on charges of committing a number of crimes related to illegal banking activities.

"According to investigators, in the period from 2013 to 2018, the attacker and his accomplices registered companies as front persons, after which they used their current accounts to conduct transit operations to cash out funds. As a result, the members of the organized group received illegal income in the amount of more than 87 million rubles.

A criminal case has been opened on this fact, which is being conducted by the Main Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Rostov region. In February 2020, a decision was made to bring the person involved as an accused in committing crimes under Articles 172, 173.1 and 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

In 2023, thanks to the use of Interpol channels, the location of the wanted person is established. He was detained on the territory of the Hellenic Republic. The competent authorities of this country granted the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and decided to extradite Andrey Fradin, " said Irina Volk, an official representative of the Russian Interior Ministry.
