The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ordered Russia to stay the extradition to Kazakhstan of former Kazakh BTA Bank manager Veronika Efimova to face large-scale fraud charges with other managers of the bank. Efimova and the other defendants maintain that the charges are baseless and are intended to enable the government to take over the bank. The stay will remain in effect pending ECHR’s ruling on Efimova's petition on the merits. Unlike Russia, Kazakhstan is not a signatory of the European Convention for Human Rights.
