“As of now, there is no extradition date. The defendant filed a motion to reopen the proceedings and submitted many documents. Pursuant to the Austrian Code of Procedure, the permission can be given to reopen the case, and that was done,” court spokeswoman Christina Salzborn said in a commentary to the Voice of America.

It is noted that despite the array of information and new evidence added to the case, it will take some time to evaluate the request for reopening.

“However, the court’s decision may again be subject to appeal. Therefore, even after the judges decide to reopen a case, I don’t think it will be over,” the court’s spokeswoman added.

When asked how long the whole trial may last, she replied: "I think that consideration of the case will stretch well into the autumn. It all depends on the time of the reopening procedure."

As reported, on July 16, Austrian Justice Minister Clemens Jabloner authorized the extradition of Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash to the United States.

On June 26, a panel of the Austrian Supreme Court judges approved the possibility of extraditing Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash to the United States, upholding the ruling of the Supreme Court in Vienna.
