Kathmandu, Oct. 27 -- An Italian court once again on Monday ruled that a Ukrainian held since August for allegedly sabotaging the Nord Stream gas pipelines could be extradited to Germany.

Lawyer Nicola Canestrini said in a statement that his client, Serhii Kuznietsov, would appeal the decision by the court of appeals in Bologna.

A different section of the same court had approved the extradition in September only for Italy's top court to reject the decision over an issue with the arrest warrant issued by Germany, sending the case back for reexamination.

Kuznietsov has denied being part of a cell accused of placing explosives on the underwater pipelines linking Russia with Europe in September 2022.
