Dmytro Firtash, the Ukrainian oligarch and former associate of Paul Manafort, could be extradited to the US by early July, lawyer says
was indicted in 2014 for what federal prosecutors in the Northern District of Illinois allege was his role in bribing Indian officials in order to get a lucrative mining deal to sell titanium to Boeing. He was arrested in Vienna in March 2014, released on $174 million bail, and has been contesting his extradition to the U.S. ever since.
Webb said that his client's Austrian lawyers believe that if the Austrian Supreme Court affirms a lower appellate court’s order of extradition, Firtash could be on his way to the U.S. seven to 10 days after the June hearing. Webb also said that in light of these developments, he is asking that the judge in the case rule on Firtash’s motion to dismiss the indictment, which argues that federal prosecutors in Chicago lack jurisdiction over him.
