US Justice Dept approves extradition of Romanian Mihai Necolaiciuc
Necolaiciuc was arrested in Palm Beach County, Florida in June 2009. On his arrest, Necolaiciuc, who's suspected to have prejudiced the Romanian Railways company with some 50 million euro, presented identification papers issued in Venezuela.
His arrest was made at the request of Interpol Washington. The extradition procedure was initiated by Romania.
In March 2010, Necolaiciuc discussed with reporters from Romanian newspaper Evenimentul Zilei, sending a message to top Social Democratic Party (PSD) representatives in which he said he knew "what they all smoked" although he was the only one to have "a pocket smelling of cigarettes".
