A judge has questioned why the Home Office has
failed to apply for the extradition of a Jewish man who fled to Israel to avoid
being tried for sex offences against children. At a preliminary hearing on
Wednesday, Manchester Crown Court was told that UK authorities had not applied
for the extradition of 48-year-old Todros Grynhaus, from Salford. Mr Grynhaus’s
lawyer, Gary Lesin-Davis, said they were reluctant because of the possible
cost.
Judge Martin Rudland said Mr Grynhaus was
“stretching the British justice system’s concept of fairness” by his refusal to
return to the UK. “I do not understand why extradition proceedings are on hold
pending this man’s appeal against Israel’s refusal to grant him citizenship,”
the judge added.
The trial of Mr Grynhaus, who denies multiple
counts of sexual offences against three children, is expected to take place in
November.
Sorry but this report dosent make 1 word of sense!!
ReplyDeleteCan anyone make heads ot tails of it?
Easy to understand.
ReplyDeleteThe UK Government need to officially file papers and start the due proccess to return the suspect to the uk for his trial.
I expect the uk to be quite robust on ensuring that he is brought back for trial in order to support his victims and future victims.
If suspects simply run away to Israel on fake passports then the deterant of facing the courts will be lost
So why haven't they started will now?
ReplyDeleteFrom what little I understand he applied for Israeli citizenship and had he been granted it he could not have been deported. However, Israel rejected his application on the basis that he stands accused of serious misconduct, and poses a danger to Israeli society. Therefore he should be returned to Britain to stand trial.
