A man has been extradited from Northern Ireland to Romania to stand trial for aggravated murder.
Officers from the PSNI’s International Policing Unit worked in partnership with Romanian authorities to extradite the 35-year-old suspect on Tuesday.
He is wanted to stand trial for aggravated murder and two offenses of aggravated robbery committed in the Sibiu area of the country on November 6, 2023.
The man was arrested in the Belfast area on November 18 last year.
PSNI Sergeant Davey officers continue to work with 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,” they added.
“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.”
