London court

A London judge has ordered the forfeiture of three frozen bank accounts belonging to the 22-year-old son of Moldova's former prime minister, Vlad Filat, who was jailed for corruption in 2016.

A London court on Sept. 25 began hearing the extradition case of three fugitives alleged of involvement with the defeated 2016 coup in Turkey. 

Turkish holding company Çukurova did not declare an intent to buy a 13.22 percent stake in Turkcell from Russia's Alfa Telecom by a Nov. 18 court deadline, a source close to the matter told Reuters on Nov. 21. 

"No declaration was made by the Friday (deadline). Now in line with the court decision, the option of buying has moved to Alfa," the source said. 

OPAP will revive plans to launch a video lottery terminals (VLTs) business, Europe's third largest betting firm said on Wednesday, after Greece's gaming commission approved new rules.

OPAP had planned to launch video lottery machines last year but halted the project after Greece introduced tougher betting rules.

Russia?s Alfa Telecom has applied to Turkey?s Competition Board to take indirect control of leading Turkish mobile phone operator Turkcell from Çukurova Holding, the latest step in a long-running battle for control of the company.

A London court is expected to decide in the coming weeks whether to approve the extradition of a Greek former judge, Antonia Ilia, amid concerns that conditions at Greek prisons fall short of European standards.

A London court is on November 21 to hear Greece’s request to have fugitive former judge Antonia Ilia extradited to Athens on trial-fixing charges.

Ilia’s hearing has been put off several times already but her lawyers had pressed for a further postponement to allow a Greek academic specializing in human rights to brief the London court on substandard conditions in Greece’s jails.
