The regional court of the Austrian city of Korneuburg will soon consider the extradition of the former head of the Main Department of Internal Security of the Security Service of Ukraine, Andriy Naumov. This was reported by the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation.
Although the official statement does not mention the name, Radio Liberty notes that the plot of the case concerns Naumov, a figure in high-profile anti-corruption investigations and a former SBU general.
Ukrainian investigators have already completed a pre-trial investigation under several articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. According to the State Bureau of Investigation, Naumov is suspected of fraud and forgery of official documents, for which he faces serious punishment.
After a year in prison in Serbia for money laundering, Naumov moved to Austria in October 2025. The Ukrainian side promptly notified Austrian law enforcement agencies and submitted the necessary documents for extradition. Now the decision rests with the Austrian court.
Earlier, on October 15, 2024, the High Court in Niš found Naumov guilty of money laundering and sentenced him to one year in prison, as well as a five-year deportation order.
In addition, in August 2024, Interpol put Naumov on the international wanted list at the request of the State Bureau of Investigation. The investigation in Ukraine believes that while managing a state-owned enterprise in 2019–2021, he fraudulently appropriated more than 3.2 million hryvnias and tried to forge documents to avoid criminal liability.
If the court in Austria makes a positive decision, Naumov may be returned to Ukraine in the near future, where he will have to answer to the law.
