Austrian court postpones indefinitely Aslan Gagiev’s extradition

The decision to extradite Aslan Gagiev, a native of North Ossetia, suspected of organizing a series of resonant killings, from Austria to Russia has been postponed until clearing out the circumstances and conditions of his custody in Russia, a judge of the Vienna High Land Court reports.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on November 22, 2016 it became known that the above Land Court had for the third time granted the request of the Russia’s General Prosecutor’s Office (GPO) to extradite Gagiev. The earlier deposited bail of 100,000 euros was returned to him.

Members of the Gagiev criminal grouping had committed about 40 murders in North Ossetia, Moscow and Moscow Region, in particular, they killed Mark Metsaev, the head of the republic’s Department for Combating Organized Crime (known as UBOP) of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA); the Mayor of Vladikavkaz Vitaly Karaev; Kazbek Pagiev, the former head of the administration of the same city, and others. Gagiev was detained in Vienna in January 2015.

The appellate instance has left without consideration the complaint, lodged by Gagiev’s defence against the judgement of the Vienna Land Court of November 4, 2016 on the admissibility of his extradition to Russia, the TASS reports referring to Judge Leo Levnaik-Ivanski.
