ROME (Reuters) -An Italian appeals court on Wednesday reviewed the case for extraditing a Ukrainian man suspected by Germany of coordinating attacks on three Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea in 2022, but adjourned the case to September 9, his lawyer said.

The 49-year-old man, identified only as Serhii K. under German privacy laws, was arrested last month near the Italian coastal town of Rimini on a European warrant.
