Supreme Court rejects Russian hacker bid to dodge U.S. extradition

The Supreme Court rejects an appeal by a Russian hacker against the Justice Ministry decision to extradite him to the U.S. for cyber fraud.

Alexei Burkov, who is accused of cyber fraud, was seeking to face charges in Russia instead of the U.S.

The family of an Israeli jailed in Russia on what they say are trumped up drug charges last week dropped a bid to prevent the extradition.
