A 25-year-old man has been extradited to the Republic of Ireland today, Thursday 1st June, to stand trial for drugs offences which occurred in the Dublin area in June 2020.
The man was detained in the Derry area on 6th February 2023 on an international arrest warrant and first appeared before Laganside Court the following day.
Today the extradition process was completed with his successful extradition to the Republic of Ireland.
Sergeant Davey from the International Policing Unit said: "This extradition involved the working partnership of An Garda Siochana, the National Crime Agency and the Police Service's International Policing Unit.
