  • He has consented to be extradited to Germany, and Spanish authorities say the transfer should occur in the coming days.
  • A judge at Spain’s National Court released him under conditions that require a fixed address and a phone number where he can be reached.
  • The Düsseldorf prosecutor’s office says it is translating Spanish case files now and will push for his detention and handover through mutual legal assistance.
  • Investigators allege bankruptcy crimes, fraud and breach of trust linked to his 2023 personal insolvency, with suspected losses in the high tens of millions of euros.
