Ukraine Tycoon Wins US Extradition Fight After €125 Million Bail

An Austrian court has definitively blocked a US extradition request against former gas tycoon Dmitry Firtash after more than a decade of court hearings that included a record €125 million ($145 million) bail payment.

The Vienna Higher Regional Court said a lower-court verdict that blocked Firtash’s transfer was final after prosecutors had failed to meet a deadline on submitting an appeal, according to an emailed statement Wednesday.
