Oleksandr Vinnik asked the American court to release him on bail

The defense of Russian citizen Alexander Vinnik, who is under arrest in the United States on charges of laundering up to $ 9 billion through the BTC-e exchange, has requested bail from the court.

The reason for such a request is the "delay" of the trial by the American side. Vinnik's lawyers emphasized that the accused extradited to the United States had been in an American prison for several months, but the documents necessary for the court had not been provided by the investigators.

“Understandably, he is very upset and believes that he should be released on bail or allowed to exercise the right to a speedy trial, because the government did not fulfill its obligations by promising to provide evidence in this case,” the defense said.
