“As for the issue with Firtash, this (extradition to the USA. - RT ) is not delayed by the Austrian side. As for the Austrian side, the Ministry of Justice has already passed a decree on the extradition of Mr. Firtash, but Firtash and his lawyers are delaying this process and insist on a review of the case, ”RIA Novosti quotes Schallenberg.

According to him, it will be possible to complete the extradition process only after the trial.

Previously, Austria's Vice Chancellor Clemens Jabloner approved the extradition of Firtash to the United States.

In June, the Austrian Supreme Court approved the extradition of an oligarch accused of bribing the United States to obtain a license to develop a titanium deposit.

It was noted that his extradition was also demanded by Spain, where Firtash was suspected of money laundering and the creation of a criminal group.
