Steinmetz's attorney stated, "It is unprecedented for the rule of law in Greece, or any other respected country, for such an administrative act to overturn a decision of the Greek judiciary, which had definitively and irrevocably ruled against his extradition to Romania, recognising his right to travel freely." This highlights concerns regarding legality and personal rights amidst international legal complexities.
In 2020, Steinmetz was sentenced to five years in prison in absentia by the Bucharest Court of Appeal for alleged involvement in a criminal group, raising questions about the fairness of judicial processes that span multiple jurisdictions.
The Greek court previously ruled against Steinmetz's extradition, citing safety concerns, a decision mirrored in Cyprus and Italy. This illustrates ongoing international legal battles surrounding extradition requests.
