Madrid - The state prosecutor in Spain's High Court said yesterday he would not appeal against the court's rejection of a request from Russia for the extradition of the media mogul, Mr Vladimir Gusinsky.
The High Court on Wednesday rejected Russia's request for the extradition of Mr Gusinsky, who says the charges of fraud against him are politically motivated and an attempt to silence his Media-Most organisation which has been critical of the Kremlin. Mr Gusinsky was arrested on fraud charges in Spain last December.
