Whether he will be extradited to the United States will be decided in November.
The Luxembourger was arrested in the French border region on the request of the USA. Schneider is alleged to have been a part of a group that engaged in fraud with cryptocurrencies, making millions in the process.
In Luxembourg, Schneider still has to face the appeal process of the SREL trial, which also involves the former SREL director Marco Mille and the former secret agent André Kemmer. This trial is scheduled for late October.
The Intelligence Service of the Luxembourgish State (SREL) is Luxembourg’s homeland intelligence agency.
In first instance, all three men were acquitted of all charges.
