Police have extradited a 69-year-old man today, Friday 15th November, from Spain to Northern Ireland. 

He was wanted to stand trial in Northern Ireland for child-related sexual offences that occurred in the mid-1980s and early 1990s.   

The man, originally from the Newry area, was initially arrested in Spain on 3rd May 2024 and today extradition proceedings were completed with his successful return to Northern Ireland.

He has since appeared before Laganside Magistrates’ Court and been remanded in prison.

Sergeant Davey from the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s International Policing Unit said: “This demonstrates our continued and effective working with our international partners to track down wanted persons and bring offenders to justice. 

“In this case we worked closely with the National Crime Agency and the Spanish Policia Nacional to complete this arrest and extradition.

“Our message is clear to anyone who has left Northern Ireland to avoid arrest or the consequences of their actions – we will relentlessly pursue those that are trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime.”
