This week a suspected cocaine trafficking kingpin was finally extradited to the UK from Dubai more than a year since he was arrested.
Prior to his capture by the United Arab Emirates authorities in April 2021, Michael Paul Moogan, from Croxteth, had been on the run for eight years after being named as wanted following a raid on a Cafe in Rotterdam in October 2013. But detectives and prosecutors across the UK are still awaiting the return of several other suspects for questioning over a series of despicable crimes.
Perhaps the highest profile Liverpool suspect currently awaiting extradition to the UK is David Ungi Jnr. The now-30-year-old was picked up by police in the town of Coin in Malaga, Spain, on May 6 this year. Spanish officers arrested Ungi in a gym within a shopping centre complex as part of a join operation involving Spanish police, the British National Crime Agency (NCA) and Merseyside Police.
