Recently a large steroid empire was busted in Austria. It was determined that this company received 40 million Euros due to illicit sale of steroids. Mihael Karner was claimed to be the leader of the steroid empire. The USA asked Austrian authorities to extradite this person to the US. But the steroid dealer avoided the extradition successfully. He gave 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 banned to extradite Slovenians to another country. Mihael Karner is a lucky individual. If he had been extradited to the USA, he would have been probably sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Federal prosecutors started the investigation linked with this drug ring in 2005. The steroid empire began to function earlier. Federal prosecutors discovered that since 2000 till 2008 the company earned 40 million Euros due to illicit distribution of steroids.
Federal prosecutors found in 2005 that Mihael Karner and his wife were involved in illegal distribution of steroids but they couldn’t pursue them because the Karners were in Austria. But later steroid laws in Austria were modified due to suppression by the US. Furthermore, the US induced the arrest of Mihael Karner and his wife.
Although the US attempts to enforce other countries of the world to extradite steroid dealers to the USA, it doesn’t have essential success in this area. But those who were involved 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 it was a real shock for the US, when it was learnt that Karner arrived to Slovenia safely. So, the USA was defeated this time in the war on steroids.
