The US government will never drop its criminal charges against Autonomy founder Mike Lynch even if extradition were refused, his US attorney has told a British court.
Chris Morvillo, Lynch s US legal representative, said to Westminster Magistrates Court yesterday afternoon: Even if extradition were refused, the judge would not dismiss the charges against Mr Lynch in the US, in the event Mr Lynch was apprehended outside the United Kingdom and brought to the United States. The charges wouldn t disappear.
Morvillo, a partner in the US branch of law firm Clifford Chance, was replying to questions from District Judge Michael Snow. The judge is presiding over the US s attempt to extradite Lynch from London to stand trial on 17 criminal charges.

“We’re counting down because we believe that in 100 days things will be on the up.”
