“Omni” wins a round in his extradition case

The report outlines a UK High Court ruling that quashed the Home Secretary’s decision to extradite Diogo Santos Coelho (RaidForums’ “Omnipotent”) to the U.S., citing procedural unfairness, mistakes of fact, and failure to weigh relevant considerations. The court ordered the government to reconsider competing U.S. and Portuguese requests and to allow Coelho to submit representations, emphasizing factors such as offense scope, victim locations, personal circumstances, and ties to Portugal.
