Yes, Europa was a prison to Veidt. Even if he spends the last of his days in an American prison, it would be a much more pleasant experience than the nightmarish existence he was trapped in Europa.

Either through brilliance or unwittingly, Jon designed the single most perfect trap to punish Veidt. And in his hubris, Veidt happily walked into it.
