The Spanish prosecutor‘s office supported the extradition of the Russian programmer, saying the crimes committed were serious and stating the absence of political motives in this case. In addition, according to the prosecutor‘s office, the process should essentially take place on the territory of the US, since the investigation was carried out by the FBI, and the charges were brought by a number of American courts. The Spanish government considered Levashov‘s case in June and also supported the extradition of the Russian citizen to the US.
