There was all of two years of discussion about the extradition of the Russian hacker Vladimir Drinkman. In april the court ruled already that the Netherlands, Drinkman should extradite to the United States or Russia, and minister Ivo Opstelten of Security and Justice now has to actually take the plunge, reports the NRC: the hacker, who in the Amsterdam Bijlmerbajes is, is extradited to the United States. There, waiting for him to 20 years in prison.
Halfway through 2012 Drinkman together with a co-suspect arrested. The men would have been members of a group of five hackers that between 2005 and 2012 160 million credit card details would have captured. That would be hundreds of millions of dollars have been delivered. The attackers were primarily entered by using so-called sql-injections.
Russia wanted the hacker also delivered, but Opstelten has decided that the hacker to the United States, because that country is the first to extradition is requested. Also is that the only way to get him to the United States to get it: Russia does not nationals, but the United States, Drinkman themselves, extradition to Russia.
