Extradition hearing for Dutch man arrested in swoop on alleged Kinahan gang property
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 27 January 2017, counsel for the Minister for Justice argued that Dutch citizen Naoufal Fassih, aged 36 and of Moroccan origin, should be extradited to the Netherlands to face three European Arrest Warrants. The first charge concerns an attempted murder and assault at a Dutch nightclub on 5 October 2012, where Fassih allegedly participated in a fight that left several injured. The second charge involves possession of over €10,000 in cash found on him in 2012, which Dutch prosecutors say could constitute money‑laundering under Dutch law. The third charge alleges possession of a false passport.
