Andriy Petrovych Pashkov, a 39-year-old Judoka wanted in Ukraine for allegedly misappropriating €1 million, has been arrested in Malta following the issue of an extradition request.
He was arraigned before the Magistrates' Court today and was remanded in custody after Magistrate Michael Mallia took into consideration that he is a foreign national who might abscond from the island and had already admitted in a police statement to absconding from Ukraine.
