Leader of steroid empire avoided extradition to US

Lately a large steroid empire was busted in Austria. It was determined that this company received 40 million Euros due to illicit distribution of steroids. Mihael Karner was identified as the leader of the drug ring. The USA asked Austria to extradite this man to the US. But Mihael Karner avoided the extradition successfully. Mihael Karner paid one million Euros to Austrian authorities that sent him to Slovenia, his native country.
Slovenia’s laws differ from Austrian ones. According to the Slovenian Constitution, it is prohibited to extradite Slovenian citizens to another country. Mihael Karner is a lucky person. If he had not avoided the extradition to the USA, he could be sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Federal prosecutors started the investigation related to this steroid empire in 2005. The steroid ring started to function earlier. Federal prosecutors defined that since 2000 till 2008 the company got 40 million Euros due to illicit distribution of steroids.
Federal prosecutors defined in 2005 that Mihael Karner and his wife were involved in illicit distribution of steroids but they couldn’t prosecute them because the Karners were in Austria. But later steroid laws in Austria were altered due to suppression by the US. Furthermore, the US induced the arrest of Mihael Karner and his wife.
However the US tries to enforce European countries and other countries of the world to extradite distributors of steroids to the USA, it doesn’t have essential success in this area. But the persons that were implicated in “Musclebear” and “British Dragon” were extradited from Cyprus and Thailand to the USA. That time the US had a victory.
As for Mihael Karner, the USA hoped that he would be extradited. That’s why the US was shocked, when it was learnt that Karner reached Slovenia safely. So, the USA was defeated this time in the war on steroids.
