Recent reports have shown that last week a French court had ordered Indiana rapper Freddie Gibbs to be extradited to Austria. Gibbs was arrested earlier this month in Toulouse, France after European authorities issued a warrant for his arrest due to an alleged rape incident that happened in Austria this past year in 2015. According to a statement from his lawyer, it looks like Freddie Gibbs will officially be appealing the extradition order handed down by a French judge. Read the statement below.
“Mr. Freddie Gibbs has appealed. He will continue to abide by all terms and conditions set by the Court as he pursues every available avenue to demonstrate he is absolutely innocent and has been belatedly and wrongly accused. To be clear and accurate, Freddie Gibbs has not, we reiterate, Freddie Gibbs has not been charged with any offense. An investigation is continuing & Mr. Gibbs remains hopeful that a thorough and searching investigation will reveal the actual facts, including the absence of any scientific, physical, or credible evidence implicating him, thereby paving the way for his exoneration and return to his family and one-year old child. Through counsel Mr. Freddie Gibbs remains cooperative with law enforcement offices and judicial systems in both France and Austria and will continue to do so.”
Even though Gibbs isn’t able to leave the country, he was released after posting $55,000 in bail. If Gibbs appeal isn’t approved, he will still be extradited to Austria for questioning.
