Spanish authorities detained Roger Vera in 2024 at the request of the US Department of Justice, who accused the entrepreneur of tax evasion in the amount of $ 48 million, including the so -called “Exit Tax), levied in case of rejection of US citizenship.
According to the Ministry of Justice, in 2014, having left the country and received citizenship of St. Kits and Nevis, the businessman did not declare large income from Bitcoin, and in 2017 intentionally concealed $ 240 million from the sale of cryptoactives with two of his companies registered in the United States.
After pledging at the end of 2024, Roger Ver was withdrawing his extradition in the United States. The complaint with the ECHR states that extradition violates its basic rights. The defense of the businessman calls the “exit tax” unconstitutional, and the prosecutions of prosecutors are legally vague and politically engaged.
Earlier, the US Department of Justice was accused by the founder of Omegapro crypto project Michael Shannon Sims and promoter Juan Carlos Reynoso in fraud and abduction of clients worth more than $ 650 million.
