Court refuses to hand over MOL CEO Hernádi to Croatia
A Budapest court has refused to carry out a European arrest warrant and hand over MOL President-CEO Zsolt Hernádi to the Croatian authorities, according to a statement released by the Metropolitan Court on Thursday.
The statement attributed the main part of its decision to “the danger that a forced handover may impede his right to a fair trial and an impartial judgement in his case could not be guaranteed.”
An additional reason is that the Metropolitan Court already ruled in May 26, 2014 in connection with a case of alleged bribery that the case against Hernádi should be dropped.
