KYIV – A European Union court in Luxembourg denied Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash the right to escape legal jurisdiction in Austria where he faces extradition to the U.S. on corruption charges.

The EU Court of Justice ruled on October 24 that his legal dispute, based on human rights and freedoms charters, doesn’t have cause. Mr. Firtash, 53, had attached his name to an existing case whereby three businessman were challenging whether they could be tried in the EU if the charges against them had originated in Switzerland, a non-EU state.
