A Paris court has ordered the extradition of basketball player Kasatkin to the United States.

A Paris court has ordered the extradition of Russian basketball player Daniil Kasatkin to the United States. This was reported on October 29 in the investigative chamber of the city Court of Appeal.

"The court decided to satisfy the request of the American authorities for extradition," RIA Novosti quoted the chairman of the court as saying.

In turn, the decision to extradite the Russian basketball player must be approved by the French Prime Minister.

Prior to that, on July 9, Kasatkin was detained in France at the request of the United States. According to Belo, the Russian is probably accused of extortion due to the use of his computer by intruders.

On July 11, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Paris Court of Appeal informed Izvestia that the United States has 60 days to provide materials on the basketball player's extradition request. On August 27, Kasatkin's request for release under judicial supervision was rejected.
