Greek top court frees Israeli mining magnate Beny Steinmetz, overturning extradition

Greece's top court has ordered the release of French-Israeli mining magnate Beny Steinmetz, overturning a lower court ruling for his extradition to Romania. Steinmetz had appealed against the decision and the top court accepted his appeal. He was initially detained in Greece on an arrest warrant related to real estate fraud in Romania. Steinmetz's legal advisers have called the accusations unfounded and argued for his right to travel freely. This decision is seen as a vindication for Steinmetz and comes from the higher level of justice in Greece.
