An Austrian court has made a significant ruling in the case of Ukrainian businessman Dymitro Firtash, stating that he cannot be extradited to the United States. The decision comes after a lengthy legal battle revolving around allegations of corruption linked to a purported bribery scheme in India.
The Vienna State Court announced on Tuesday that it determined on November 7 that extradition was not permissible, as reported by the Austria Press Agency. Despite this ruling, Vienna prosecutors have expressed their intention to appeal the decision, with a deadline set for December 16.
