The two countries’ authorities will now decide on how and when Wolfgan Rieke should be handed over to Italy’s Carabinieri police, local media in Germany reported.
Rieke was arrested last month on charges of vehicular homicide and hit-and-run on a European warrant issued by the Vicenza Public Prosecutor’s Office.
He was released from jail days later as a German court suspended the provisional arrest pending a decision on the man’s extradition.
Rieke’s lawyer recently presented a petition in Venice to have his client’s preventative incarceration suspended and replaced with house arrest, stressing that he was now doing an office job.
A hearing will be held regarding the petition on July 14.
The Italian judge who issued the arrest warrant said Rieke showed “an astounding lack of any signs of remorse”.
Rebellin, 51, was one of Italy’s top riders in the 1990s.
