ROME (Reuters) - Italy has not yet approved a Venezuelan request for the extradition of former oil minister Rafael Ramirez, his lawyer said on Thursday, denying a Venezuelan state TV report that the move had been cleared by an appeals court.
Authorities in the South American country sought an Interpol red notice - a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person - for Ramirez in 2018 and requested his extradition from Italy last year in connection with embezzlement charges.
