This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Ali Charaf Damache was refused extradition to the US on alleged terrorism-related charges by the High Court on 21 May 2015. He was wanted over alleged conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists and attempted identity theft to facilitate international terrorism.

Mr Damache was discharged from the High Court after the judge refused the State’s extradition application. The judgment also criticised the Director of Public Prosecutions’ consideration of the proper forum for prosecution, while leaving that decision in place unless the State successfully appeals.
