Austrian court rejects Ukraine tycoon's US extradition

An Austria court announced Wednesday that it has rejected the extradition to the United States of Ukrainian tycoon Dmytro Firtash on bribery charges, the latest twist in a long-running legal saga.

Vienna's Higher Regional Court said in a statement that it decided on December 9 to dismiss as "inadmissible" the latest appeal by prosecutors in the case, saying its decision was final.
