A French court of appeal has ruled not to extradite to Ukraine the Ukrainian billionaire businessman Kostyantin Zhevago, who was temporarily detained in France
Ukraine’s National Bureau of Investigation had said Zhevago, who owns a majority stake in mining group Ferrexpo, was wanted on suspicion of embezzlement and money laundering related to the bankruptcy of Ukrainian bank Finance and Credit
The Swiss-based commodities trader has strongly denied all accusations related to the probe, which concerns the alleged underpayment of iron ore royalties between 2018 and 2021.
