Lithuanian must be extradited to U.S. in $100 million email fraud case: court
VILNIUS (Reuters) - A Lithuanian accused of swindling Facebook and Google out of more than $100 million through an email fraud scheme must be extradited to the United States to stand trial, a court in Vilnius ruled on Monday.
Evaldas Rimasauskas denies the allegations and will appeal against the decision to a higher court, his lawyer said.
According to a U.S. indictment made public in March, Rimasauskas is charged with wire fraud and money laundering, which each carry a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, and identify theft, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of two years.
Rimasauskas has been in custody since March at the request of U.S. prosecutors.
