REUTERS/Denis Balibouse/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsJERUSALEM, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Israeli mining magnate Beny Steinmetz has been detained in Cyprus on a Romanian-issued arrest warrant, a spokesperson for Steinmetz said on Sunday. Steinmetz is at the centre of a case dating back several years relating to his involvement in a group that allegedly tried to illegally secure land rights in Romania. He has already faced arrest in some other European countries on the Romania-issued warrant but was cleared. Steinmetz was detained on Thursday "during his arrival at Larnaca airport, due to a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) issued by the Romanian authorities, which has already been cancelled in various European countries, among them Greece and Italy," his spokesperson said.

☆ Beny Steinmetz to appeal Swiss court's corruption ruling - statement

GENEVA, April 4 (Reuters) - Mining magnate Beny Steinmetz said he would appeal against a guilty verdict for corruption upheld by a Swiss appeals court on Tuesday, saying the decision was "unfair and politically motivated". The Geneva court upheld a guilty verdict for corruption made by a lower court in 2021. But it acquitted him of forgery and reduced his sentence to three years' imprisonment of which 18 months must be served. "Beny Steinmetz considers that the Geneva justice system turned a blind eye to procedural flaws, stretched the rules of jurisdiction, compensated for the lack of evidence, and misusedthe penal code to save a conviction that it did not dare to dismiss," he said in a statement.
