Theresa May to decide on Serageldin's extradition to US
|
|
After a British court approved on January 14 the extradition of former Credit Suisse trader Kareem Serageldin to the US, Home Secretary Theresa May is set to make the final decision whether to approve the move.
Under British
law, May has the final say over extraditions to the US.
She is expected to give the green light for the transfer to take
place. Until the decision is made, Serageldin will remain on bail.
Serageldin, who was the Swiss bank's former global head of structured credit, is accused of artificially inflating the prices of mortgage-backed bonds between August 2007 and February 2008, when their real value was plummeting.
The case was the first successful US prosecution of employees of a major bank over wrongdoing connected to the subprime meltdown.
