RIGA, August 8 (RAPSI) - The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has received the documents in the case of Deniss Calovskis, who is accused of cyber crime, and suspended the procedure of his extradition, lawyer Ilona Bulgakova told RIA Novosti on Thursday.

The Latvian government on Tuesday decided to extradite Calovskis. His attorneys thereafter turned to the ECHR.

According to mixnews.lv, Calovskis, 27, who resides in Riga, has been charged with using a Gozi virus to infect over a million computers worldwide, including at NASA. He allegedly worked on the virus together with Russian national Nikita Kuzmin and Romanian national Mihai Ionut Paunescu.

US law enforcement officers arrested Kuzmin during his visit to California in 2010 and persuaded him to cooperate. He helped prosecutors nab the other two men, who were arrested in 2012 in their home countries and are awaiting extradition.

Kuzmin has been accused of developing the virus. Calovskis has been accused of modifying the virus, so that it could mimic a bank website, prompting account holders to divulge personal information. Paunescu has been accused of hosting command and control servers, thus shielding them from detection.
