After a hearing in a French court this evening, Unibet Chief Executive Petter Nylander was released on 200,000 euros bail.
Earlier today, Nylander was extradited to the Parisian suburb of Nantarre after spending 10 days in the Netherlands awaiting transfer.
"The fact there are numerous legal proceedings ongoing against responsible operators such as Unibet doesn't make sense at a time when the French government has publicly referred to the opening of its online gambling market," Nylander said in a written statement.
Nylander said that the French market is in "urgent need" of reform, and that the warrant was issued "in complete disregard of EU Treaties and the interests of the French players."
"France has everything to gain from the controlled opening of its market, and La Française des Jeux, the Pari Mutuel Urbain and French casino operators alike have an opportunity to be co-leaders together with private operators in the European gaming market," he added.
Tomorrow morning, Nylander will host a press conference in London.
