💨 Abstract

An Israeli private investigator, Amit Forlit, lost his appeal against extradition from the UK. He is wanted in the US for allegedly carrying out a "hacking for hire" campaign at the behest of an Exxon Mobil lobbyist, targeting environmental activists. Forlit argued that his prosecution is political due to the charges relating to climate change litigation against Exxon. His case will now be considered by British ministers.
