Roger Ver, facing over $48 million in tax fraud charges, seeks to block extradition from Spain, claiming violations of his legal rights and political motivations behind the case.
Roger Ver, known as "Bitcoin Jesus," has filed a lawsuit against the Spanish government in the European Court of Human Rights to block his extradition to the U.S. for tax fraud charges exceeding $48 million. Arrested in Spain, Ver claims the extradition is a violation of his legal protections and a denial of justice. U.S. prosecutors allege he failed to pay taxes related to his sale of bitcoins in 2017. Ver maintains his innocence, arguing the case is politically charged and has drawn support from the crypto community.
