FROM MARCH:
The on-again, off-again saga of billionaire Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtashs extradition to Chicago is back on again maybe.
Firtash, who has past ties to President Donald Trumps indicted former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, has been wanted in Chicago since 2014 for his alleged role as the mastermind of an international titanium racket.
Hes been stuck fighting extradition from Austria for three years and has assembled a team of legal all-stars, including former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb, former Bill Clinton White House attorney Lanny Davis and former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff to help keep him out of a Chicago courtroom.
Webb on Friday wrote to U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer to warn her that Firtashs extradition may once again be imminent. A ruling in an Austrian court case now expected Tuesday could quickly lead to Firtashs extradition sooner than was predicted previously, warned Webb, who wants Pallmeyer to toss out the case before Firtash can be put on a plane bound for OHare International Airport.
