Conti coder gets four years behind bars
Assessment
The term is 48 months, entered 10 September 2026 by Chief Judge Campbell (docket 56). The same judgment text grants "credit from time served in Ireland since July 2023". Lytvynenko was arrested in County Cork on 6 July 2023 and stayed in custody through the High Court, Court of Appeal and transfer, so 1,162 days (about 38 months) were already served at sentencing. Roughly ten months remained before good-conduct credit, and no supervised release follows because he consented to removal. The sentence is four years; the time still to be served is not.
