Czech high court says alleged Russian hacker can be extradited to United States

Posted on November 24, 2017 by Dissent

Jan Lopatka reports:

The Prague High Court ruled on Friday that Russian citizen Yevgeniy Nikulin can be extradited to the United States where he is accused of hacking social networks including LinkedIn, a court spokeswoman said.

Czech police arrested Yevgeniy Nikulin in Prague in October 2016 in cooperation with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Russia also accuses him of a small cyber theft and both countries have requested his extradition, leaving him in a tug-of-war between Washington and Moscow.

Friday’s decision does not end that competition.
