A French court on Thursday, June 23, ruled in favor of extraditing Freddie Gibbs to Austria, where he will be questioned by detectives about an alleged 2015 rape, according to France 24.
As we previously reported, the 34-year old Gary, Indiana native, real name Fredrick Tipton, was arrested June 2 on a European warrant issued by Austria.
Gibbs was in France for a concert at.the Rex in Toulouse. He was being held in jail until being allowed to post $56,000 bail last week.
The rapper's lawyer, Michael Malka, told France 24 that his client vehemently denies the charges and "has no intention of escaping justice, whether French or Austrian,"
Malka added that Gibbs was opposed to the "harsh transfer procedure" and wants to freely hand himself over to Austrian authorities.
Gibbs has 72 hours to appeal the extradition
