Interpol at the request of the Russian prosecutor's office began the procedure for extradition from Italy on the international wanted list of the activist of the War Art group Oleg Vorotnikov.
On July 27, Vorotnikov was detained in Venice by the police after a fight with anarchists. Now he is under arrest.
According to Fontanka.ru , the Italian department of Interpol notified his Petersburg colleagues about Vorotnikov. The personality of the wanted person was confirmed as a result of operational reconciliation of fingerprints and will.
The extradition process can be stretched for several months.
After the demonstration of March 31, 2011 against Oleg Vorotnikov, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under three articles of the Criminal Code - “Hooliganism”, “Insulting a representative of power” and “Application of violence against a representative of the authorities”. According to investigators, collars tore off the hats from the police and hit one of them.
