Russian businessman Vladislav Klyushin was extradited from Switzerland to the United States of America. This, as reported by TASS, is said in a statement by the Swiss Federal Office of Justice.
Klyushin was handed over in Zurich to American police officers who escorted him on a flight to the United States.
Earlier, the Swiss Federal Criminal Court rejected Klyushin’s appeal against the decision to extradite him to the United States. The judge rejected the defendant’s argument that he was the victim of a US political campaign. Washington is reportedly demanding his extradition because of his work and connections in the Russian government, which have given him access to security information.
Klyushin was detained in Zermatt, Switzerland at the request of the United States on March 21. He was charged with “hacking against IBM, Tesla and other American multinational companies”, and it was allegedly about “theft of more than $ 10 million.”
According to Reuters, Klyushin owns a company that offers media monitoring and cybersecurity services to clients, including the Russian presidential administration and the government.
