VIENNA (Reuters) - A Vienna court granted Ukrainian tycoon Dmytro Firtash bail on Friday, three days after a decision to extradite him to the United States on bribery allegations and his arrest on charges of money-laundering in Spain.

"The application to impose provisional detention pending surrender was dismissed," the court said in a statement.
