The UK Home Office on Wednesday (April 28th) agreed to extradite billionaire swindler Abdelmoumen Rafik Khalifa to his native Algeria. The decision comes nearly one year after a British court approved Khalifa's deportation.
In 2007, four years after Khalifa fled to London, a Blida court sentenced him to life imprisonment on fraud charges surrounding Algeria's largest-ever financial scandal. The corrupt tycoon is also wanted in France on embezzlement charges and for alleged involvement in the collapse of Khalifa Airways, Antinéa Airlines and Khalifa Rent-a-Car.
Khalifa is expected to appeal his extradition.
