Austria’s Supreme Court authorized on Tuesday the extradition of Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash to the United States for trial. He is accused of paying $18.5 million in bribes to officials in India to open a titanium mine. A US federal judge in Chicago ruled the case could be tried in Chicago because Firtash planned to sell the titanium to Chicago-based Boeing. The decision to sign the extradition order rests with Austria’s new Justice Minister Clemens Jabloner.
