"5 years."

Isn't he facing 10 years in UK for fleeing on bail?

Does US extradite him, trial him, (jail him?) and then ship him off to the UK to serve his time there?

IIRC it's up to 12 months for basically contempt of court / failing to surrender.


It would normally work in the opposite way: first he’s judged in UK, serves his sentence if any, and then he’s extradited.


Plus the 7 years of self-imprisonment in an embassy that he already served.


I'm not sure any judge will treat being on the lam as time served, but yes.
