In a decision that marks a significant turning point, the court held that there was no evidence to support assertions that the prosecution was driven by political motives or that the accused had been lured into committing offences through entrapment.
The ruling effectively removes major legal obstacles that had been put forward to block the extradition request.
With these arguments set aside, the court stated that the extradition process may proceed, subject to any further legal challenges.
However, the court granted Abu Trica a 15-day window to contest the decision, giving his legal team the opportunity to file an appeal or seek a review.
Should the defence fail to overturn the ruling within this period, the case is expected to advance to the next stage of extradition proceedings.
The case has drawn widespread public attention due to its alleged links to international fraud activities. Authorities in the requesting country are seeking extradition to prosecute offences reportedly involving online scams targeting victims abroad.
Abu Trica has consistently denied wrongdoing, and his lawyers are expected to review the ruling and determine their next course of action within the stipulated timeframe.
The outcome of any appeal could prove decisive in determining whether he will ultimately be extradited to face trial overseas.
