Austrian court grants US request to extradite Ukrainian mogul Firtash

VIENNA, Feb 21 (Reuters) An Austrian court today granted a request by the United States to extradite Ukrainian mogul Dmytro Firtash over bribery allegations.
The court in Vienna overturned a previous Austrian court decision to reject the extradition request on the grounds that it was politically motivated.
"The (appeal against the previous decision) has been granted," the judge told the court packed with journalists and Firtash's family. "This does not mean that somebody is being pre-judged as guilty, but rather that it will be decided in another country whether they are guilty or innocent."
