The High Court has ordered the extradition to Germany of a 50-year-old Irish man who allegedly tried to strike a man with a wooden chair leg and commit robbery in a Berlin takeaway almost 30 years ago.
Making the order today (MONDAY), Mr Justice Kerida Naidoo said that Liam Patrick Daly, 50, Dublin-born but with an address in Birmingham, had been “a major contributor to the delay” in bringing him before the courts to face the charge.
The respondent, who objected to the extradition due to the length of time that has passed, is wanted by police in the Federal Republic of Germany on a charge of attempted aggravated robbery.
