Law enforcement officers of the Mykolaiv Prosecutor's Office extradited a citizen of the Republic of Moldova, who was on the international wanted list. The man was handed over to the competent authorities of Moldova.

This was reported by the Mykolaiv Regional Prosecutor's Office on Facebook.

According to the prosecutor's office, the foreigner was sentenced in Moldova to two years in prison for drug smuggling. After fleeing from justice, he was hiding in Ukraine.
