Austrian court rules against extradition of Ukrainian businessman to US over alleged bribery
Vienna appeals court ruled extradition inadmissible due to claimed diplomatic immunity and procedural issues, rejecting U.S. bribery charges linked to titanium mining in India.
- An Austrian appeals court rejected a request to extradite Ukrainian businessman Dmytro Firtash to the United States over alleged corruption involving bribery for mining licenses in India.
- The court ruled the extradition request was inadmissible because Firtash claimed diplomatic immunity as a former representative of Belarus to international institutions in Vienna.
- A US federal judge previously ruled that the US had jurisdiction over the alleged crimes since any scheme would have impacted a Chicago-based company, Boeing.
