UK Mike Lynch has been extradited to the United States to face criminal charges over Hewlett Packard's $11 billion acquisition of his software company.
Britain's interior ministry said on Friday that Lynch had been extradited on May 11 where he will face 17 charges over HPs 2011 takeover of his business.
Lynch denies any wrongdoing and had fought the extradition proceedings in the British courts, arguing he should be prosecuted in Britain, but on April 21, the High Court refused him permission to appeal.
"Dr. Lynch was extradited to the US on 11 May," a spokesperson for Britain's Home Office, or interior ministry, said.
