Accused UK "flash crash" trader granted bail, fights extradition

By Michael Holden LONDON (Reuters) - A British trader accused by U.S. authorities of an illegal role in the May 2010 Wall Street "flash crash" was granted bail by a London court on Wednesday after saying he opposed being extradited to the United States to face trial. The U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday it had criminally charged Navinder Singh Sarao, 36, with wire fraud, commodities fraud and market manipulation.
