Officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s International Policing Unit, working in partnership with Romanian authorities have today, Tuesday 30th April, extradited a 35-year-old man from Northern Ireland to Romania. 

The man is wanted to stand trial for aggravated murder and two offences of aggravated robbery committed in the Sibiu area of Romania on 6th November 2023

The man was arrested in the Belfast area on 18th November 2023.  Today completed extradition proceedings with his successful extradition to Romania. 

Sergeant Davey from the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s International Policing Unit said: “The Police Service of Northern Ireland continues to work with our international partners to identify and arrest those wanted in other jurisdictions. In this case we worked closely with authorities in Romania, the National Crime Agency, UK Border Agency and An Garda Siochana to locate and arrest this subject. If fugitives travel to Northern Ireland to avoid the consequences of their crimes it is only a matter of time before they are arrested and brought before the Extradition Courts.

“Our message is clear that we will relentlessly pursue those that are trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime.”
