Fugitive Czech businessman appeals extradition order

A court in the Bahamas has begun hearing Viktor Kozeny's appeal against a ruling to extradite him to the United States. The fugitive Czech businessman, dubbed 'the Pirate of Prague', is awaiting trail in both US and the Czech Republic on charges of fraud. He is appealing his extradition on the grounds that there is not enough evidence against him for his case to be covered by the extradition treaty that exists between the US and the Bahamas. The hearing is expected to last a week.
