Damache extradition hearing continues
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 10 September 2014, the extradition case of Ali Charaf Damache, a 49‑year‑old Algerian‑born Irish citizen, was continued. Damache is sought by the United States on charges of conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists and attempted identity theft to facilitate an act of international terrorism. He allegedly used the username "Theblackflag" and was involved in a plot to transfer a passport stolen from a U.S. citizen to a person in Pakistan believed to be an Al Qaeda member. Three of his alleged co‑conspirators have already been sentenced. Counsel for the State, Mr Remy Farrell SC, noted that Damache could face up to 45 years in prison, though early release might still be possible. Damache had previously sought judicial review of the Director of Public Prosecutions' decision not to prosecute him in Ireland, but both applications were refused by the High Court.
