Complaint against extradition
One of the seven imprisoned football officials has filed an appeal with the Federal Criminal Court against the extradition warrant issued by the Federal Office of Justice.
On May 27, 2015, seven football officials were arrested in Zurich by order of the Federal Office of Justice (FOJ) and placed in extradition custody. According to the US arrest request, they are suspected of having accepted bribes worth millions.
One of the seven detainees has lodged an appeal with the Federal Criminal Court in Bellinzona against the extradition warrant issued by the Federal Office of Justice. The Federal Criminal Court will decide whether he must remain in custody for the duration of the extradition proceedings. Both the detained person and the Federal Office of Justice can appeal the Federal Criminal Court's decision to the Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne, the FOJ writes.
