The Prosecutor General’s Office will send a request to Austria for the extradition of the former head of the Constitutional Court, Oleksandr Tupytskyi.

"Materials on extradition will be sent," a representative of the PGO said.
He noted that materials for the extradition of Tupytskyi will be sent to foreign law enforcement agencies.
At that, at the moment it is not known whether Interpol is tracking down Tupytskyi as part of an international search.
Tupytskyi is in Austria with his wife.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Tupytskyi, who fled to Austria, was put on the international wanted list.
Tupytskyi left the territory of Ukraine and went to Austria.
