Kozeny extradition case put off again

The adjournment was communicated Monday morning. The Lyford Cay resident and Czech-born financier has been battling against an extradition request from U.S. authorities for almost a year.

Those authorities want him to stand trial on fraud and money laundering charges.

He was indicted in a New York court last October.

Kozeny and others stand accused of bribing senior government officials of Azerbaijan in order to gain an unfair advantage during the privatization of the state-owned oil company.

Kozeny is among a list of 24 persons wanted for extradition by the United States.
