A Prague appeals court on Friday upheld a lower court ruling that a Russian man who faces charges of hacking computers at American companies can be extradited to the United States. Prague's Municipal Court ruled in May that both extradition requests meet the necessary legal conditions. Nikulin appealed his extradition to both countries but later withdrew an appeal against his extradition to Russia. Following the ruling by Prague's High Court, it is now up to the justice minister to approve or dismiss the extradition. He said they urged him to falsely testify that he cooperated in the hacking attack on the Democratic National Committee ordered by Russian authorities.
