The Investigative Chamber of the Chambéry Court of Appeal believes that "the requesting state, which is at war and in an uncertain situation, cannot have a court that guarantees fundamental freedoms".
The prosecutor's office did not object to Zhevaho's extradition.
The billionaire got on the wanted list on suspicion of embezzling USD 113 million from the Finance and Credit (bank).
Zhevaho was detained in Courchevel at the end of December 2022.
On January 6, the court released Zhevaho on bail.
