Spain's High Court agreed to a U.S. extradition request for a British citizen wanted by the United States over a Twitter hack in 2020 that compromised the accounts of several U.S. politicians including Joe Biden and Barack Obama
in July 2021 in the southern city of Estepona. The Spanish government still has to confirm the extradition. It usually complies with such High Court decisions though O'Connor could still appeal.
The High Court said the United States was in a better position to prosecute because that is where the evidence obtained in the investigation is located, as is any damage caused. 22-year-old British citizen Joseph James O'Connor is lead by Spanish police officers as he leaves a court after being arrested in connection with an alleged July 2020 Twitter hack which compromised the accounts of high-profile politicians and celebrities, according to the U.S. Justice Department, in Estepona, Spain, July 22, 2021.
