DUSHANBE, March 15, 2014, Asia-Plus – International media sources reported on March 15 that an Austrian court has ruled to release Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash on a 125 million euros bail, but ordered him to stay in the country pending US extradition.
Earlier it was reported that Austrian authorities detained Firtash on charges of bribery at the request of Washington.
The detained Ukrainian national is reportedly believed to have business ties with the ousted Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovich.
Police claim that the arrest of the entrepreneur is not linked to the Ukraine crisis.
The Austrian authorities noted that the FBI has been investigating Firtash since 2006, and that an arrest warrant had been issued for him by a federal judge in Virginia.
