Kinahan Cartel gang boss Liam Byrne has said he will fight extradition during a court hearing. The 42-year-old has been remanded in custody following his confirmation he would refuse to be sent back to the UK for trial.
It emerged on Tuesday he had appeared before an extradition judge on Monday, although the news was only made public this afternoon. The hearing took place in private as is normal in Spain.
Byrne is believed to have appeared before a judge at Spain’s Audiencia Nacional court, which deals with extraditions, via video-link from Majorca where he was arrested on Sunday.
